Yashica ML 50mm/2 ? Any good? What would you pay for one in good condition?

Have I understood correctly if I say you should stay away from Yashica DSB-lenses?

Hi! I have one at home, which I have not tested it at all.
I may upload some samples next week though.
I think their prices are very low. Mine was about 1-2 euros.

Ok, I think I will let it go then. It's at 8€ now and I would also have to buy a new adapter which would cost me even more.

And you loose a great lens and about this reason many other great Yashica/Contax mount lenses.

Ok, the guy selling had a stockpile. He has put a new group of Yashica lenses out. Maybe I should get a wider one, I know he has 35mm also.

Sounds interesting.

Right now I'm thinking of buying the ML A 35mm/2.8. Would 25€ be to much for that one (it's a "buy now"-price)?

if the 35/2.8 is in the same range of quality as the 135/2.8 I would say that this is steal.
And I was very close to push the button on this one but the inner voice said that I better learn how to use my other 35:s than buying yet another one. Embarassed

Shocked Shocked You stole it Laughing Congrats.

Take any ML prime they are all at the very least good with some that are exceptional (3.5/21, 2.8/24, 2.8/28, 1.7/50, 4/55macro, 2.8/55macro).

The zooms are not as consistent. The only real stand out being the 4.5/70-210. My experience has been this lens is in the top level of it's field. For other Focals look for Tammie and Kiron zooms (Kiron 2.8/ 28-90 is dynamite).
