K35s Today
Nowadays, the K35 lenses are often used to in conjunction with modern digital cine cameras. The combination of the rigid sensor grid paired with the softer vintage lens creates a look popular among modern day cinematographers. The use of the lens balances out the overly-sharp look yielded by today’s cine lenses. In addition, they have unique flares and halations which sometimes create interesting effects. At 40 years old, these lenses of course do not hold up to modern CAD lenses in terms of image sharpness. However, if you like the unique, vintage-y look, give these a try!
