Auto Weltblick Super Weitwinkel  1:3.5  f=23mm  62Ø

m42_weltblick_23_3.5

This is a quite unusual focal length.  In fact, it is the only 23 mm lens I have ever heard of.  I found it on eBay for a very reasonable price, and it also came with a Mamiya P-mount adapter.

The lens is only single-coated and is built very well.  The focusing direction and aperture control is “the other way round” like the Pentax Takumar lenses.  The knurled focusing ring reminds me a lot of the Pentax Takumar lenses.  The lens has an A/M switch for the aperture mechanism and has click stops for all half apertures as well.

I haven´t had a chance to test the optical quality of lens yet.
