Here's one I took with the Yashica 35mm lens that I have sold to Bigmango:



Man, what a lens. I would have never sold it if I hadn't the Distagon.
Here it's either wide open or just f/4
Note: zero vignetting - and this is the 5D.

And here's the lens ( I know Bill that you wanted to see it):

Nipon, you're going to like this! Looks almost new, too! Great shot, Orio,
how much did you pay Melissa for posing, union scale? Laughing

Looks very well-built and I like the focusing grip, too.

Yes, it's metal and feels quite solid although tiny, it's sexy.

The 3D shot was at f2.8? Nice.

Yes, wide open.
That shot tells me this lens is a Distagon design more than any Kyocera engineer could confirm.
I have the Distagon 2.8/35 and it produces exactly the same imagery and the same "plasticity"
I could easily swap the two lenses and don't notice.
This is why I told you this was a great bargain, Distagon costs three times as much.

This last one looks like an early morning shot...

I like the light.

Hi Orio

I am impressed. Thanks for the photos and the lens.I am excited about the 3-D and was following the website you provided link to.

What is the conclusion? Is it from many factors i.e. lens, lighting and many others? Can you do "3-D for Dummies" summary?so that I can try it on the lens when I receive it.

Cheers

Hi Bill

Eat your heart out, hah?

You're welcome, Nipon.
What is the conclusion? I don't have the technical knowledge to draw conclusions. I only know what my eyes can see. but I have a trained eye. Wink
I believe that there is something that some lenses have and some don't. I agree with one of the observations made on the Fred Miranda forum: there are lenses that just "don't cut it" even in the most favourable lighting and subejcts conditions; and there are lenses that "make it" even when the conditions are barely there.
If you look no only at the balcony image, but also at the Gerania image, you will see that "at work" there too. Whatever it is, the Yashica lens has it plenty.

Yes, but not expensive. It can be easily found used around 60 Euros, sometimes less.
Some Yashica ML lenses (the wide angle ones in particular) are rumoured to be basically rebadged Contax Zeiss with cheaper materials, and after having seen with my eyes, I believe this is true.

Yashica ML 35mm and 28mm are affordable lenses that one should always monitor on Ebay, because they deliver pro quality image.
