Even the black/silver Yashinon lenses from that period are beautiful, as were the Mamiya M42 lenses in the same period. The early to mid 60's (imo) are a golden age for lens aesthetics, which extends backwards of course when considering post war European lenses. It's mirrored in many other fields such as automobile design and I wonder if my opinion is objective or tinged with nostalgia that may not be shared by future onlookers. Both cars and lenses have improved remarkably in function since that period, but arguably not aesthetically. |

I don’t think that’s mere nostalgia. Stuff just looked better in those days. And it was made to last a hundred years. |

Are you mounting this on a mirrorless camera? If so which adapter? These seem to use the Pentamatic mount and adapters aren't as plentiful except for some no names on eBay. |

The silver version came out with the Yashica J5 SLR, a few years after they went to M42 mount. I'm not 100% sure if it's optically identical to the earlier lens, although anecdotal evidence says it is the same as (one version of) the M42 Mamiya 55/1.8. |

AFAIK, there are 3 Mamiya 55/1.8 versions, of which I own 2, that share the same optics. But they are definitely different from the Auto Yashinon. |

There's 4 different version, but only two are in M42 (without the SX tab). They appear to be optically different to each other:

Could you show a side and rear profile of the 28mm?
Interesting, for sure!

Yup, it's that one. The 5cm f/2 is one of my favorite lenses, so I will probably agree.
But my 5.5/1.8 looks almost new (and great). |

After reading a very positive review of the Pentax-M 75-150mm f/4 on ephotozine.com, I decided to buy one. Curious how it compares to the Minolta MD 75-150/4. |

In my hot little hands ... a Hanimar Automatic 28mm f2.8. I picked it up at a nearby used camera shop in the half price section. It was not expensive. Marked down to $20, but they charged me much less. I think they felt sorry for me.
I got it home and popped on an M42 to RF adapter, put it on my camera and shot a couple shots of stuff on my desk, then outside to take picks of my dogs and garden.
I went inside, popped the SD card into the reader on the Mac, and the two pics inside were nice. BUT! Outside was OMG terrible. Hazy and unpleasant. Eew.
So I googled it.  There were several posts out there suggesting this lens to be the worst lens ever. EVER! Apparently, it's uncoated. I read a suggestion on the web to be sure to use a lens hood. So I did. Not any better.
Now it sits in my display case on a Yashica TL-Super with mirror issues. It's just something for me to laugh at myself when I see it.
Now, forthcoming, FEDEX on Saturday, I bought a lot of 9 lenses at auction. Among them,
- FD 135 3.5;
- FD 100-300 f5.6;
- FDn 35-70 F4 zoom;
- FD 35mm 2.8 (that's the one I really wanted);
- a mystery Nikkor Zoom (can't tell - poor photo);
- FDn 70-150 f 4.5; And one in a case upon which all I can see is the word macro. It's a short lens looks like a 50mm. Im hoping it's a 50mm 3.5 macro;
- some other canon lens with only a photo of it with a lens cap, top down.
- AND two Kodak zoom projector lenses.
All except the projector lenses look to be very well cared for. I'll find out Saturday.
In another lot, a Sears camera with a Sears 55mm 1.4 leans on it. Looks nice, clean with a uv filter on it. Those were made by Mamiya-Sekor and are quite sharp. There's a few other things in the lot like an Agfa Silette 1 and a camera bag. |
