Porst Super-weitwinkel 1: 2,8 / 28mm auto H - manual wide angle for film cameras with M42 thread. In fact, it turned out to be a good lens, but it only catches a lot of sun hares in the backlight. There is a multi-coated version of this lens.

Porst 28 / 2,8 is assembled in Japan, the focusing ring is rubberized, there are no complaints about the assembly. I am always happy to use old lenses made to last.

The focus ring rotates as much as 270 degrees, while the front lens does not rotate. The lens uses a 55mm filter thread and an 8-blade diaphragm. There is an aperture control mode switch 'AM'. The aperture closes down to f / 16.

Original photos available at this link  - 194 MB, RAW full-format camera files Canon EOS-1DS in TIF format, 20 photos. On Canon, I used a lens with the usual M42-Canon EOS adapter with chip.

The lens turned out to be sharp in the center of the frame at any aperture and, most importantly, on covered apertures, the image angles are also quite sharp. In general, Porst 28 / 2,8 creates a nice picture.

How to use with modern cameras?

Lenses with mounting thread M42 (M42 X 1 / 45.5), such as the lens from this review, are very easy to use on almost any modern digital camera (both SLR and mirrorless), for this it is enough to choose the right adapter (adapter). You do not need to carry out any additional steps to modify the lens.

The cheapest adapters can be found at Aliexpress.com... There are adapters (adapters) with a chip that provide more convenience during shooting, usually chips are used to confirm focus and / or metering exposure, and form the correct EXIF. The chip does not affect the image quality in any way.

For some SLR cameras (for example, with the Nikon F-mount), you need to use adapters with a corrective lens, which allows you to focus correctly at all focusing distances. For any mirrorless cameras, such a lens is not needed, and the adapter is a simple decorated hollow metal tube with an appropriate mount.

    Thoughts are right, I support. Thanks to you, I remembered my childhood (shift 8), youth (fed-3). I bought NIKON-D3100, lenses MS HELIOS-81N, JUPITER-37A, MS KALEINAR-5n. Sometimes I photograph, I enjoy. I read the blog for 2 years. I look at NIKON- D610.Thank you for your attention.

    Half a year ago, I bought such a lens at the collapse for the sake of experiment, a good picture, but there are a couple of drawbacks, the focus ring scrolls very tight, it's dark.

  • Alexey

    I want to buy this video lens, how will it show there?

  • Gregory

    Please tell me who knows what the letter "H", "G" after Avto means

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Most likely the number of lenses in the optical circuit
