About this lens

Sankyo-Kohki W-Komura 35mm f/3.5

Optical Qualities

This compact 35mm wide-angle uses a moderate f/3.5 maximum aperture. Reliable documentation for the exact optical formula is limited, so elements, groups and rendering claims remain unspecified.

History

Sankyo Kohki sold the W-Komura as part of its early rangefinder lens line. Surviving black and black-chrome M39 examples are documented from roughly the 1950s into the early 1960s, sometimes with a matching finder.

Handling

Its compact focusing barrel suits classic screw-mount bodies. Cameras without a built-in 35mm frame require an accessory finder for accurate composition.

Compatibility

The documented Leica-thread version uses the LTM mount and is rangefinder coupled. It can also be used on Leica M bodies with a suitable LTM-to-M adapter.
