I picked up this lens together with a FX-D quartz camera, and it's a sweet combo! The mechanics is just right when it comes to aperture ring, focus and zoom. And even though the only pictures taken so far comes from an old expired tri-x 400 roll I like the lens already.
The Yashica next to its cousin 
When it comes to image quality it does quite well!

Thank you! I think it works well with the slight softness that the zoom design contributes to. |

Wow, great shots. Is this the ML version of this lens? Considering that is one of the more affordable Yashica ML lenses, I'm very impressed.

Here is a shot at 42mm, f/3.5. It's a bit soft wide open but stop it down and it behaves.
A crop from picture #6 probably f/8. The lens is not the limiting factor here

There is a lot to like about Yashica ML lenses. I have got a couple of older DSB zooms - 38-90 / 3.5 that isn't bad at all, and a 35-105 / 3.8-4.8 that is average. But all my ML lenses are excellent, especially the 80-200 / 4 which I rate as good as my Vivitar Series 1 lenses, maybe better?
42-75 might be an uncommon range, but it is still a useful one, is this Yashica a rival to the Rokkor 35-70?

I have a minolta 35-70 3.5 as well, and think a proper side by side test is required to find that out. Unfortunately I don't have a digital camera to put these lenses on. But my bet is that the md 35-70 is probably superior in all aspects except for weight. |

I haven't done a proper test with the fuji yet, it has this really stupid metal tab in the way that's just asking to be grinded off. But I don't have the heart to do it!
The fuji at 75mm, partly mounted.
