Ok, did you read my post? Dont think so..
Here an example of the 24mm DS-M... seemed to be a bad lens, because its from Yashica... OPEN THE LINKS IN A NEW BROWSER TAB ; after following the link, click in the images to enlarge to high resolution
http://dunkelnetz.de/images/objektivtests/yashinon/tomioka_yashinon__24mm_09-03-08_80.JPG
Your definition says.. Yashica Lenses are bad...
look here.. 200mm DS-M
http://dunkelnetz.de/images/objektivtests/yashinon/200er.JPG
Or do you mean this DS-M 1.4/50mm Crop is coming from a poor Yashica lens?
http://dunkelnetz.de/images/objektivtests/yashinon/nahcrop-14-bl8-1250px.jpg
This one comes from a DS-M 35mm Yashica.. what a poor lens...
http://dunkelnetz.de/images/objektivtests/yashinon/yashinon_35mm_bl8_2.JPG
Sorry, but your conclusion, having one lens means the whole Yashica Range of lenses... is poor. As i wrote, the 135mm is average... in both Series.. ML and DS-M.. but to say Yashica lenses are bad or not so good... ?

A lens completely free from CA is called "achromatic" and it's only a theoretical lens, because so far it has been impossible to produce such a lens in reality.
Achromatic concept:
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acromatico
A lens with a much reduced to nearly absent CA is called Apochromatic, and it is currently produced by several manufacturers.
Apochromatic concept:
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocromatico
Regarding your comments, you seem to keep expecting top performance from cheap lenses. I'm sorry but this rarely happens, if ever. Yashica lenses are good lenses within their price range which is the cheap/affordable range.
They can not offer the performance of apochromatic lenses becuase they are not apochromatic, and if they were, they would not be cheap in price.
If you want to get lenses that are top quality, highly resolving and free from most optical problems, you need to spend the corresponding money.
We have already explained this concept, I gave you a list of high quality lenses, you keep insisting in wanting to get blood out of a turnip... _________________ Orio, Administrator

+1 to Orio.
I have some really good Yashicas, old ones and new ones. But that's not to say they'll be fantastic on a full frame 5D mark II. It is very widely accepted that serious money has to be spent to get lenses capable of matching the sensor's quality. _________________ Graham - Moderator

Suggesting (his opinion) that he found Yashica better.
Further there are some samples from ORIO about ML 24mm.
They speak for themselves, well corrected for distortion, very resistant to flare, and very sharp too.
For the price ML 28mm isn't bad too. almost a must have.

Alex that's a lot of lenses
Is it possible for you to share any samples of the 21mm ? Never seen any of that lense.
Also if u have at hand share some 55/2.8 samples ( not just macros ). _________________ Yashica ML 2.4/24, ML 2.4./28,

Hi,
this Thread is older but I want to clear things up regarding the origin of the "ML 35mm".
Tokina 35mm 2.8 (very old / I had one in 1988) = Hoya HMC 35mm = Yashica ML 35mm 2.8.
Japanese optical companies often shared lens designs between each other ( free, oem or licensed).
The Yashica ML 35mm 2.8 is a nice standard 3rd Party Design but "IT IS NOT" based on Zeiss Distagon.
Just compare the "lens designs" and you will see it.

How can you be sure that the Yashica ML is a Tokina? I agree that the Hoya is deffo a Tokina though. _________________ Graham - Moderator

Anyway, is there a difference between the optical formula of my lens and the ML version? I'd be interested to know, I also have the 50 1.4 DX and 50 1.7 from the same guy, same basic condition although those 2 saw more use. _________________ My Best Lenses (off the top of my head):

Almost certainly a different design. I think a lot of Yashinon lenses came from Tomioka. The DX lenses were actually the budget range with the DS models being more upscale. At some point multi-coating was introduced to create the DS-M line which should be the cream of the crop, but all are good solid lenses and (the copies I've had) beautifully made. _________________ Digital Cameras: EOS550D, Nex-3, Nikon D50, Sony R-1

Hi, i own quite a few yashica ML, must say the shorter ranges are better in my opinion, i have the 28mm, 35, 50 1.9, 50 1.4, 135,200. all ML.
my favorite is the ML 50 1.4, super sharp but a little in the cool side and a little soft wide open. then the 35 2.8 ML i love to use on crop sensor i find it very sharp also, the 135 is ok and the 200 i never use. the 50 1.9 ML is also a very good performer and i feel it doesnt lose sharpenes wide open. the 28 i have to test a bit more but seems ok.
here is a picture with the 35: http://500px.com/photo/7266293 _________________ C/Y: Yashica ML 28 2.8, 35 2.8, 50 1.9, 50 1.4, 135 2.8C, 200 4C.
