    Overview

    The Makinon 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 MC Auto is a vintage zoom lens with mixed reviews. Optically, it can produce good images, but many copies suffer from issues like fungus, haze, or stuck apertures. Build quality is generally praised as smooth and well-finished, though some copies feel loose (MFlenses). The macro mode is considered useful (MFlenses). It may suit budget-conscious users willing to gamble on a functional copy, but given the high failure rate, careful inspection is advised.
