Overview

The Pentor 35mm f/2.8 Auto is a manual-focus prime lens for M42 mount, likely a rebadged Chinon or similar Japanese manufacturer. Optically, it offers decent color and contrast with well-controlled distortion and chromatic aberration, but sharpness is not exceptional (martyn_bannister). Build quality is rated highly, and it is compact (65mm length, 260g) with a 0.35m minimum focus. It suits users seeking an affordable, compact wide-angle for film or digital, with good value (5/5 rating) but modest sharpness.
