Yashica 50mm ML f1:1.4


Another thrift shop find, this Yashica 50mm 1.4 lens optically and mechanically in good condition, but has several cosmetic 'dings' and 'scuffs' at the front of the lens.  However, I had no problem screwing-on a 52mm UV filter in front of the lens despite the damage (see photo below).



Basic specifications for most lenses can be found at ALLPHOTOLENSES
Info for this lens in particular at: http://allphotolenses.com/lenses/item/c_436.html#prettyPhoto



The photos captured below were taken 'as-is" with the subject lens on a Samsung NX1, no filters were employed and there was no post-editing or effects added to the images.

In the photo above, notice the Bokeh is more of a generalized Gaussian Blur effect than the typical 'geometric-shaped' Bokeh.
