I mistakenly bought an adapter for C/Y mount for my sony so naturally i had to get a lens to go with it.
After about a month of trolling i gave up on getting a $10 item and grabbed this Yashica.
It's not mind blowing but for some reason it has stayed on my camera for weeks.
have only shot wide open so far as am trying to push it to find the Wide open sweet spot with my camera.
Well i haven't found it yet but it's making me happy along the way.
New Fern
100% crop
This is Skitz.
She is here every morning and evening.
The most jittery wallaby i've met to date.
100% crop further afield and some resolution lost, but still got my happy face.
The rest are because i like the color.
No PP at all as it should be! |

I love my Yashica ML lenses, they might not be the very best lenses money can buy but they are solid performers, lenses that I know will deliver good results. I have read that the DSB lenses use the same elements in a cheaper body and have simpler coatings? I don't know for sure.

My first DSB 50mm was crap. but some one gave me another and it's much better...overall I'm not impressed with my DSB lenses compared to some many excellent nifty fifty's that are around.

DSB was Yashica's second line where ML were their prime lenses. I agree that I never saw anything special in the DSB lenses I've used but the ML lenses shine.

Meh.
I read all about DSB being the single coated, lower quality cheap line, and have a 135 2.8 which is almost unusable its that bad but this little lens goes pretty good and i like using it. I don't have any ML versions, in fact i only have a few nifty 50's and all of them are technically better, sharper, more accepted but there is just something about this little yashica. It has been said on here that "the best lens is the one you have with you"
Well i have had this with me for a small amount of time and it is a delight to use.  |
