A collector of Contax/Yashica lenses is offering me a Yashica ML 28-50 3.5f for 180 euros.
He says it is a very good sharp lens.
I can't find a lot on the internet about this lens.
Pictures on Flickr look very good indeed

Is this lens good and worth the money ? |

Probably agree too. Usually when using a wide-angle lens I don't need a normal. Maybe it's that I'm not used to using a zoom in that range, but I would say I use a normal rarely, and usually only when I need the speed of 1.4. |

No my judgement simple based on Yashica name + zoom lens. For 300-500 USD I buy Carl Zeiss Contax zoom and surely not Yashica
even rare and excellent Carl Zeiss Jena Vario-Pancolar fit into 500 USD budget.

Still no pictures with my A7, but it's built like a tank - it was one of the 1st released Yashica ML Zooms, and the 2 Rings Design is way good, i usually dislike Push-Pull Zooms, but sometimes if they're good i do buy them, too.  |

I'd pass just on the seller, I bid on a rare lens and after I won and was about to pay he tells me he also has the super rare hood to go with it, gor more of course, I'm willing to bet he separated the two to make more money, I've had 3 deals with him,, all were at the high end of pricing, I felt dirty after every one.

The "Super-rare" Lens Hood is nothing special, there are two type of Lens Hoods for this specific lens, just like for the Yashica ML 28-85/3.5-4.5,
which is also being considered rare these days, because even less being sold on ebay compared to the 28-50/3.5.
The 28-85 can being used with an ordinary screw-on type lens hood, and also with one pull-on type, but i have had never seen this
pull-on lens hood into reality, neither for the 28-85 ML, nor for the 28-50/3.5 ML. Into the end, just buy a cheap wideangle screw-mount
metal lens hood with 67mm diameter for the 28-85, and 72mm for the 28-50 ML. They each look way good onto these lenses and are
quite cheap on ebay.
I do own two copies of the 28-50/3.5 ML in near/or way close to new condition, and also two from the 28-85 ML Zoom.
Its always better to have a backup copy, just in case for when something weird would happen...don't have most lenses twice,
but some of them.
'nuff said. |
