Schneider-Kreuznach 35mm f/4 PA-Curtagon

The Schneider-Kreuznach PA-Curtagon 35mm f/4 is a perspective-control (shift) lens with a 7-element, 6-group retrofocus design for 35mm SLR cameras. At 220g with an M 49 filter thread, the PA prefix indicates a shift mechanism allowing the lens to be displaced relative to the film plane. This enables correction of converging verticals in architectural photography, bringing large format movements to 35mm cameras.
