I bought a Porst 35mm F/1.8 screw mount lens at a garage sale today for $1 and I was wondering if any of you had any information about this lens? Around the front element it's labeled; Porst WW 1:1.8/35mm MC Auto H 58 No. 353452, on the bottom it says "lens made in japan".
Thanks in advance David
Porst had the Fujica line for a while but only (?) their bayonet stuff. So, origin unknown... Maybe a serial number code could identify the manufacturer as in Vivitar'S case. If so, it needs to be cracked.
The lens has been tested here:

It performs very nicely.
It can be seen on an ist DS here:
