Pentacon 30mm f3.5 Wide-Angle Lens - Made in G.D.R. - M42 Mount

The Pentacon 30mm f/3.5 is a classic manual focus wide-angle lens produced in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany / G.D.R.) by Pentacon during the 1960s–1970s. Known for its durable all-metal construction and reliable optics, this lens was commonly used on Praktica SLR cameras.
With its 30mm focal length, the lens provides a wide field of view, making it ideal for landscape photography, street photography, architecture, and travel photography. The f/3.5 aperture offers good depth of field control while maintaining solid sharpness across the frame.
The lens uses the popular M42 screw mount, allowing it to be mounted on many classic film cameras such as Praktica, Zenit, and Pentax, and it can also be adapted easily to modern mirrorless digital cameras using inexpensive adapters.
Pentacon lenses from East Germany are appreciated today by film photography enthusiasts and collectors who enjoy classic vintage optics with unique character and solid mechanical design.
