Manufacturer description

The 35mm f/2.8 and the 35mm f/4 lenses are retrofocus in design and are optically corrected for minimum error. Correction for spherical aberration yields images that are sharp from corner to corner, permitting full frame enlargements. Many photographers have made the 35mm focal length their standard lens for candids, news photography and photo journalism because of its great depth-of-field.

From the editor

A lighter and more compact version of the W.Rokkor-QE 35/4 with the same optical formula.
