And it is good to see why. Lovely pictures.
Only in the fifth the bokeh is a bit busy for me. |

Thanks, bokeh is relative to your personal taste

You meant "The Shrek" love these old Yashicas . I like the busy bokeh; depending on the how the light interacts with the background, the shape of the background image , the set aperture and the distance of the background in question- for most lenses.

Your'e right about the speed, . This feels pretty nice,looks good and is very light on your camera.
Thank you all for your comments

Very nice lens, the sharpness and bokeh of the thistle shot is superb.
I've started collecting Yashica ML lenses - 2.8/28, 2.8/35, 2/50, I overlooked the earlier Yashinons but judging by this lens that was a mistake.
I agree the cheap manual lenses are disappearing fast, prices on ebay have noticeably risen in the last 6 months with lenses you could get for 5ukp not long ago fetching many times that in many cases, now you have to find the auctions with bad descriptions and poor photos to find the bargains.

I view the forum from my workplace 90% of the time, where a number of image sites are blocked, so the images posted from Flickr do not show.
I'll try to post an image of mine tonight when I get home, as mine is on my Flickr thread and once again, I'm without access.

My adapter Fotodiox has a built in ridge/ flange (where the lens attaches) which blocks the travel of the lens at infinity. I think it is a design fault. This lens travels back farther than my other M42 lens like takumar, helios and chinon, cosinon. What brand adapter you use for the Sony ?

Awesome shots! I love 1, 4, & 5.
Use a non-flanged adapter with this lens.
I haven't been able to find the lens diagram yet, but the lens was definitely made for the Yashica Penta J series of cameras. A 35mm and 135mm were also available:
Best,

eBay has a plethora of options, regardless, you can always file the flange off on any of the adapters you find.
