Fujinon M42 lenses

Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. was established in 1934 with the aim of being the first Japanese producer of photographic films. Over the following 10 years, the company produced photographic films, motion-picture films and X-ray films. In the 1940s, Fuji Photo entered the optical glasses, lenses and equipment markets. After the Second World War, Fuji Photo diversified, penetrating the medical (X-ray diagnosis), printing, electronic imaging and magnetic materials fields.

A wide range of lenses were and are being manufactued by Fuji and all optical lenses are branded as Fujinon. They are well known for producing very high quality lenses across the photographic and cinematic markets.

Fujinon 28mm F3.5

Unlike the Fujinon 50mm F2.2, a very well built all-metal lens. Aperture and focus movement is silky smooth. Reasonably sharp wide open with great Bokeh. A good overall wide angle lens.

A good quality lens delivering sharp results. From one of the great Japanese lens manufacturers. Chroma is well controlled even @ F2.2. Unfortunately not that well built like the East German and Russian ones, and made from plastic. The aperture ring holder cracked in 2 places and setting apertures has become quite a mission. But the optic quality, like on all Fujinon lenses is very good.
