Equipment Brand: Yashica
Equipment Model: 50mm F2 ML (very small sharp lens, can be mounted on canon through adaptor)
Price (S$): stated below
Description:
Yashica 50F2 ML
Very nice sharp lens. Build wise very similar to the carl ziess ones.
Size wise reasonably small and compact as well. It definitely renders much better image quality than the canon 50F1.8 mark2 (which though cheap, the 5 blades aperture provides very ugly bokeh).
Google online to see more good reviews on this lens. Produces good image quality as well.
" I also have an 'unsung' hero of a lens, my lowly Yashica 50mm f/2 lens. The lens has beautiful pillowy soft bokeh (rendition of the out-of-focus parts of the image) that is similar to the effect you get w/ the Zeiss lenses and great sharpness. The sharpness is good I feel even wide open and it becomes really snappy at f/2.8. I have been going out of my way to look for opportunities to use this lens do to its exquisite sharpness almost at or near wide open, soft bokeh and its exquisite metal barreled feel while not as 'perfect' in construction as my Zeiss glass, it does feel like a tank/luxury liner compared to most AF lenses (including even my metal barreled Minolta Maxxum lenses. The lens does have a very slight bit of flare when the sun is either in frame or near the edge of the frame but that is easily stopped w/ a propitious hand to block the sun/etc... and I even like its flare/glare spot effects sometimes...The color rendition of the lens is very good to excellent and it is quite contrasty but I do think that the Nikon lens coating is very slightly better than the Yashicas. -Louis Lam "
