    Overview

    The Porst 200mm f/3.3 Tele Auto is a vintage telephoto lens with mediocre optical performance. Sharpness is poor wide open and only becomes acceptable from f/5.6 to f/8 (Attila, MFlenses). Colors are reportedly great (Attila), but overall definition is lacking, especially compared to better f/3.5 designs (pat donnelly, MFlenses). Build is heavy, and the lens is considered a fair performer for a low price (uusitupa, MFlenses). It may suit budget-conscious users who prioritize color rendition over sharpness and can stop down significantly.
