andy lee Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I'm selling my full set of Yashica ML Prime lenses with metal lenses hoods and flight case. 24mm f2.8 28mm f2.8 35mm f2.8 50mm f2.0 50mm f1.7 42-70mm zoom f 3.5-4.5 135mm f2.8 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231233759495?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649 superb full set of prime (full frame) lenses so can be used on Canon 5D, RED EPIC , GH4 , GH3, G6 Sony A7, BLACKMAGIC CINEMA CAMERA , BMPCC ETC WITH METAL LENS HOODS AND CAPS Yashica ML primes are some of the most sought-after vintage manual focus lenses. widely regarded as Carl Zeiss Distagon Equivilants the Yashica ML prime lenses are superb for Cinematography. The ML series was the pro line of Multicoated lenses developed and produced by Yashica (Kyocera), to sit between their consumer grade DSB line and the state-of-the-art Zeiss T* within the Contax / Yashica system. According to 'Lens Doctor' Eddie Houston, these lenses were the 'L-series of the era' Being 35mm format lenses, they cover Full Frame (Canon 5D, 1D, 6D etc.) They perform extremely well even at wide open aperture when used on a 'crop frame' system. 180+ degree focus throw allows for accurate control - ideal for cinematography use with a Follow Focus kit. Included here are: these lenses are full metal casings - no cheap plastic like kit lenses. all have full metal lens hoods added - these just screw on the front and help stop lens flare - and large lens caps for the front hoods (see pics) rear lens caps are also included The set comes in a aluminium flight case PM me if you are interested I will do a reduced price for EOSHD memebers.

andrgl Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Andy, why sell? (You've really championed Yashicas on this forum and I'm curious what you're selling them for.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paolo Artuffo Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hello Andy, I have a Canon 6d with vaf filter and a canon ef 50 1.4 and 24-105 f4. How are these lenses better than those I have or a canon ef 35 f2 - 24/28 f2.8 besides the aperture ring. Are they sharper? Are they better to use with m43 cameras? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
