W Komura Sankyo Kohki in 35mm

[Jaans]

Hi,

I was wondering if any members have any experience with this lens.

I am really curious as to the variations in 35mm in terms of sharpness, bokeh, rendering, build quality etc How about contrast?

Also, is it a good black and white lens or color lens?

If anyone has any knowledge on this lens then I would be interested to hear from you,

Cheers

There used to be a great thread on the forum (which I can't find now) that had a list of all the Komura lenses we've so far found and tested. The 35mm was a favorite. I don't know what happened to the thread. it was called something like "The Definitive Komura List" more or less.

Sad if that thread got lost somewhere never to return!

Thanks Phil for the reply. That's interesting what you say about the 35mm. I have recently been interested in brands that are not as famous as say Leica, Canon or Nikon, but still have a tremendous build quality that reflects the period when they are made. I guess they are more likely to sell for a cheaper price than famous brands.

I will now go and hunt for that thread in the archives.

If anyone else has some example photos then I would be interested to see them!

Cheers
