Hi folks
This is not a bad little lens but imho inferior to my other pancakes - Minolta Rokkor 2/45 and Konica Hexanon 1.8/40.
These are all wide open:
These are all at f8:

Not a bad looking lens at all! Decent sharpness wide open and pleasing (to me) bokeh. I think you missed focus on the clock as the gate pics were better.

I am not sure I did miss focus on clock, it is natural for close shots to be sharper.

Ian, it's a great lens alright, I have one myself. Really good for macros on tubes in my experience.
However, some of these shots are not focused correctly and the shot of the window is suffering camera shake due to the 1/50 shutter speed and looks to have been sharpened. Are you relying on the focus peaking feature on the Nex?

Yes, the window shot has some shake. The second one of the clock might be slightly misfocussed but I'm pretty sure the others aren't.
I wouldn't call it great at all, pretty average compared to other 50s imho.

I have the Hexanon 1.8/40, Rokkor 2/45 and this ML 2/50, I can't justify keeping all three so I have to choose one to keep, I think the Hexanon although the Rokkor runs it close. I think I'll give this ML another go tomorrow on a tripod.

Here's one from a couple of years back @ f5.6:
No pp other than a 20% 0.5px sharpen.
I think it's great for the £5.00 it usually sells for  Especially as it mounts on Canon DSLRS  I must go and shoot with it some more though.

Now that is a good sample, what camera?
I will give mine another shot, it is in great condition with very clear optics, from the shots so far I do prefer the Rokkor 2/45 but that could change I suppose.

This was shot on a Canon EOS 30D. I'm guessing this was an inexpensive-ish lens originally, probably as the cheapest kit lens for the Yashica bodies (I know there were f/1.9, f/1.7 and f/1.4 versions too). Not terribly handy speed wise for low light shots, but probably great value for everything else.
I wish I had more time to test again...ho hum!

Yes, I agree, it comes from the same era as the Hexanon 1.8/40 and Rokkor 2/45, oh and the Pentax 40mm as well, seems pancakes were in vogue for a while.

I like the Rokkor too, I think I am going to keep that one, mine was full of fungus but after a good clean it works well now:
