Carenar 35mm F2.8:
A relatively unknown brand lens and we purely bought
it out of curiosity. We were pleasantly surprised - very well built and an
all-metal lens with silky smooth focus and aperture rings. And it performs
pretty well - good colour saturation and remarkably sharp even wide open.
We could also not note any chromatic aberations, even wide
open.
They are really scarce and this is the only one we
came across in our relentless search for good quality M42 lenses over the
past 5 years.
