Overview

The Schneider-Kreuznach Edixa-Curtagon 35mm f/2.8 is a compact, all-metal German lens with smooth mechanics and organic rendering. Its shift version shows visible barrel distortion that worsens with shift, requiring stopping down to f/11. Handling is solid but the shift ring can be accidentally activated during mounting. It suits photographers seeking a characterful wide-angle for street, travel, or video, especially when adapted to mirrorless cameras.
