This lens was the moderate wide-angle analogic lens for the Kowa SER, the first generation of Kowa SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses. It is a 6-lens design with f2.8 aperture, very compact, and like all Kowa lenses in a beautiful hill and valley design with a chrome nose. Here it impresses with good sharpness from open aperture, and the background behavior is really b'"'specialb'"' (whether particularly beautiful is in the eye of the beholder - it really depends on whether you like it particularly soft or rather b'"'busyb'"'). In order to give a direct feeling for the performance and the bokeh behavior, I would like to start with a small aperture row in the close range. The overall images nicely show the changes in bokeh behavior. The Kowa SER 35mm f2.8 was the moderate wide-angle lens for the Kowa SER, the first generation of Kowa SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses. It is a 6-lens design with f2.8 aperture, very compact, and like all Kowa lenses in a beautiful hill and valley design with a chrome nose. The Kowa lenses are a pleasure to feel, and the clickless aperture ring (on the adapter) is of course an advantage for filmmakers. The Kowa SER 35mm f2.8 gave many beautiful shots! Like all Kowa lenses, this one is particularly suitable for close-up images where you are close to the subject. In the tradition of the large German manufacturers such as Zeiss (Contaflex) and Voigtländer (Bessamatic and Ultramatic), Kowa also built three interchangeable lens cameras with central shutters in Japan (based on viewfinder cameras with the same principle). The Kowa SER was replaced after a few years by the Kowa Set-R and the Set-R2. What is remarkable here is the persistence with which Kowa transported the central locking system into the 1970s. This system, which was outdated by the mid-1960s at the latest due to its technical limitations, led directly to the decline of the major German manufacturers and was one of the b'"'nailsb'"' in the coffin of the German camera industry, which ended in Zeiss ceasing camera production in 1972. The big difference to the last German central shutter cameras is the shape and design of the Kowa SER/Set-R cameras. At the time, they were optically absolutely contemporary, comparable to the Pentax Spotmatic and the other Japanese SLR cameras in terms of form factor. In addition to the great advantage of the central shutter that flash can be used at all exposure times, it also leads to extremely difficult lens designs and major reliability problems due to the complexity of the control. These days it's hard to find a Kowa camera that even works, let alone someone who can repair it.
