A early spring rose shot with a M42 PORST Weitwinkel 1:3.5/35mm. These shots are from a series of test shots I did when I first received the lens. Another one of my $25 marketplace specials...
I had read that the Porst lenses were not all that great... but I figured if they were gonna name something Weitwinkel, that it had to be good! (only later did I realize that Weitwinkel means Wideangle... )
Shot handheld with the K20d on an overcast day... but I thought the old Weitwinkel did pretty well and had an interesting look.
And a shot of the lens

First one is lovely
For sure this Porst 1235mm is a Sonnar clone, like the Jupiters - I can tell it by the bokeh.
135mm lenses are the best bargains on the used market - they are the cheapest of medium teles, and almost all of them are very good. _________________ Orio, Administrator

Good lens, though.
Ports was no manufacturer but rather a reseller. Thus, some of their lenses are pretty good, others are mediocre. It seems you have a nice copy! _________________ Personal forum activity on pause every now and again (due to job obligations)!

Thanks for the quick replies. I was not expecting much when I got this one. But it always feels good to get one of those "suprises" when you start shooting.
Here are a couple of side shots of the lens if it helps identify the maker.
I have a 28mm 2.8 Accura Diamatic that looks very similar, but it is not anywhere near the IQ of the Porst Weitwinkel...

Colour and sharpness wise seems very well balanced. Also the out of focus rendition is pleasing. Someone says that Porst didn't made lens by theirselves...but then who made this Weitwinkels? They doesn't remind me of any lens i've seen 'til now. |

This lens reminds me a bit of my Uni 35 2.8, with the exception of the rubber grip.
