Overview

The Hanimex 21mm f/3.8 Wide-Auto offers good center sharpness, especially when stopped down, but suffers from weak corners even at f/8 compared to a Nikon 20mm f/4 (ManualFocus-G). Contrast is low wide open but improves by f/4. Build quality is typical of rebranded lenses; the sample tested had scratches on the front element. It is a budget-friendly option for those who prioritize center performance and can accept corner softness, suited for casual or stopped-down use.
