I just bought this lens at a hefty $50 and while it has been years since anyone addressed the matter here, even has a small bend in the rim but that's okay. I plan to keep it in my personal stash and not sell it but just take it out when I feel like it to push it best I can.
I appreciate that you showed the RAW files as I don't want to see your image manipulation skills past testing the camera's capabilities. For a first run they look interesting and let's face it the craft of a tool in the hand of an artist will vary radically from person to person, and even situation to situation.
I also appreciate (after the fact of my purchase) noting that hinnerker recommends this lens. Perhaps not at what I paid, but so be it.
Hey, this is my first post here! So, thanks for the info. Just hoping the one I bought is clean inside and lens-wise. I just have a feeling there aren't many of these out there which means having it in your possession (of course, if it's junk forget it, but it's not) gives you a leg up for whatever reason.
Peace. |

Hi it feels like i know you all and thats probably because I read many good posts here and im posting on mflenses on facebook under my name Petter Düring.
I´ve just bought the DX 1.4 version for 30 usd so i will come back with some test shots here as well if anyone is interested.
I must say that I agree to both sides.
If you for instance have a test section of various lenses with ratings I very much appreciate unedited pictures but still when i decide for me to get a lens want to see the output after some PP. |

I use mine generally as a portrait lens, or where I want a lot of abrasions. As a high quality prime it is not near the mark, but as a useful lens it is one of my favorites.
All with some post processing, but all wide open.

Hi, I must say I have sympathy with CA, the tone of response by some members are a bit bullyish. Seems certain members are world authorities on all things manual lens related and I bow to their normally superior understanding, however it turns out some are just dicks as well.

Hi eveyone
I have this lens, bought it rather cheap because of some issues, but neverthless here is the 100% crop sample photo, some sharpening and level adjustment. I find my one very sharp even at 1.4 and FF of Pentax K1.
The complete photo can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/129563138@N03/52869991548/in/datetaken-public/

I find the wide open performance of this lens quite glowy and with many abberrations despite the fact (as I understand) that it uses thoriated glass.
Having said so I find also myself grabbing this lens quite frequently. I guess the haptics (feels great to use), original bokeh and that it sharpens up quickly make it a joy to use.

Hi Pabeu, my lens Auto Yashinon DS-M 50/1.4 is not radioactive at all, pity, but https://camerapedia.fandom.com/wiki/Radioactive_lenses mentiones that all of tem are "hot" so there might be some variants of the lens. _________________ my flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/129563138@N03/sets |
