Advertisement Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Hi Chris101-MM, Take a look here Anyone that has experience with this very non Leica lens?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
jaapv Posted August 18, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 18, 2013 Actually it might be a rather nice lens of vintage character. There was not much wrong with the Yashinons in their day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted August 19, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 19, 2013 Most of the Yashinons I've owned have been pretty good lenses....sharp, good color correction, and reasonable contrast. Didn't see if it was an older screw mount or newer bayonet (C/Y mount for Yashica & Contax). But I haven't owned the one you pictured. Personally, unless you already have an adapter I'd sell it, unless you want to build a collection of Yashica or Contax lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really in pristine condition. Looks like it more or less haven't been used. The price tag is still on it. And the focus and aperture has a bit of Leica-feel to it - To my surprise!

As to what I have read about this lens it was only made with M42 screw mount, so I suppose its a bit sketchy getting it to fit on my MM. - Or am I out sailing on this one?

gyoung Posted August 19, 2013 Share #6 Posted August 19, 2013 We had a whole batch of Yashica Mats at the school of art & design, with Yashinons, very variable, some good, some not so. But that was a 4 element Tessar type, almost certainly sharing nothing in common with the OPs lens other than the name Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
