Pentacon MC 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 - Good Condition | Compact Standard Zoom in M42 Mount for Praktica and Mirrorless

The Pentacon MC 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 is a practical standard zoom from the East German Pentacon optical tradition, covering wide-angle, normal and short telephoto perspectives in one compact lens. The multi-coating (MC) improves contrast and reduces flare compared with single-coated lenses, and the zoom range handles everyday shooting, travel and street photography with ease. In M42 mount, it fits Praktica and other M42 film SLRs and adapts easily to modern mirrorless bodies. Serial number SR 1073118.
