The Yashica 50mm 1.7 ML sits just below the top of the line lenses in the Contax Yashica lineup, but how does it perform?

Yashica ML series are decent lenses for their time. Plus having that CY mount, I hope Simmod will develop their Simmount EF convervsion kit for the Yashica.

@MarcoAries 3 года назад

Well, there are a lot of C/Y lenses around, between DSB, ML and Zeiss, so maybe they will!

@cybermees Год назад

🙏 I do not understand the qualifier of "descent"! either they are very good, or excellent, there is no mediocre 50mm (=average) 🤔

@jimschmidt7303 2 года назад

Thank you for the honest and informative video. I purchased a Y 50mm F2 last year a Pentax 50mm F1.7 A, and several other inexpensive 50mm & 28mm lenses. I like both but on my Pentax camera the Pentax A lens is more convienent to use.

@MarcoAries 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Pentax lenses are very nice and it's cool that they kept the same mount to this day!

@user-wn4wb7ml8y 2 года назад

Спасибо за обзор - полезная информация , по вашим обзорам сделал для себя вывод , что свой выбор остановлю на pentax m 50mm 1.7

@MarcoAries 2 года назад

Thank you! Yes, the Pentax is a better lens, I really like both using it and its warm colors ;)

I don't own the 50MM F1.7 Yashica ML . I do have the 50MM DS-M F1.7 and the 1.4. I shot the 1.4 on my Pentax ist DS. I don't have the adapter with the inner flange so it shot wide open! I was really surprised how good the image really was. It was a little soft but not bad. They are really well built lenses.

@MarcoAries Год назад

Good to know, glad you enjoyed it even with the adapter issue!

@alessandrorusso6634 2 года назад

Hey! Great video! Have you ever tried to compare the Yashica ML 50 f1.7 and the Canon FD 50 mm f1.8? Do they show a lot of difference? Thnx!

@MarcoAries 2 года назад

They are not too different, colors and contrast are similar, but the Yashica has more chromatic aberration and it is a bit less sharp. I haven't compared them directly in a video and I've sold the Yashica, so I can't give you samples, but I have a video comparing the FD, Konica Hexanon, Asahi Pentax and Pentacon, if that could be of any help

@juliettemarty8104 2 года назад

Hello ! Thank you for tour video. I was wondering if the Yashica 50mm 1.7 could fit on a Pentax k1000? thank you!

@MarcoAries 2 года назад

No, it can't, they have different mounts that can't be adapted.

@alaniscavazos4603 3 года назад

One of my first and favorite lens, i have three 50mm Yashica now, but this ml version it's they better forma me, the most recent plastic bodies are a dissapoint

@MarcoAries 3 года назад

Yeah, there are some plastic body lenses that are really good, like Canon FDs, but I too don't like the more recent ones

@mattcero1 Год назад

I'm thinking of getting the DS-M 1.7. Do you know if it's radioactive? Thank you.

@MarcoAries Год назад

I don't know for sure, but I haven't heard of radioactive Yashicas. The ones I reviewed had been sitting in a bag for years and didn't got yellow, so they shouldn't have any thorium in them.

@mattcero1 Год назад

@@MarcoAries Non Thoriated lenses can still go yellow from what I've read. Thanks.

@cybermees Год назад

Je possède des 50mm DX - DSB - ML f2 f1.7... je les aime beaucoup! par exemple, je viens d'utiliser le 50mm f2 ML, je l'ai en mémoire, (je possède 40x 50mm) il est excellent, je ne vois pas de différence avec version DX! aussi,, je ne vois pas de différence entre le 50mm 1.7 DS-B et la version ML,, le même traitement multi-couches! mais je n'ai pas fait de tests très poussés sur mire,, en général je prends comme mire une vieille baraque :D

@cybermees Год назад

d'ailleurs, vos jolies photos médiévales démontrent la qualité de votre yashinon! il faut le connaitre, pour déjouer quelques petits défauts, qui pour ma part ne me gênent pas du tout, faut apprivoiser son objectif

@kainbre 3 года назад

what about radioactivity?

@MarcoAries 3 года назад

Dunno, honestly I don't care, but it shouldn't be, shouldn't have thorium in the coatings. Now that you mention it, I don't think japanese lenses in general used thorium, maybe the Zeiss Contax-Yashica did? I'll try look it up

@raksh9 2 года назад

@@MarcoAries Contax Zeiss never used radioactive glass. You'll find that in Pentax Super Takumars like the 35mm f2, and in one or two Minolta lenses in the MC range.

@MarcoAries 2 года назад

Thanks!

@marcp.1752 2 года назад

The #1 version ML with silver nose is being called radio-active, means with thorium-based lead glass elements.

@cybermees Год назад

@@raksh9 oui, par contre, beaucoup d'objectifs Carl Zeiss Jena,, j'ai une quarantaine d'objectifs radioactives, je ne dors pas à proximité, et ne faut PAS s'en servir comme loupe! je n'ai jamais noté, dans le passé, que cela voilait le film argentique, même sur une longue durée :D
