AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this listing an exceptional and very sharp vintage macro lens: the Yashica ML Macro 55mm f/2.8 with original Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount. The "ML" series by Yashica is renowned for its extremely high build quality and excellent optical performance, comparable to lenses in a much higher tier of the period.
This lens is specifically for macro photography, but it is perfect also as a standard portrait lens due to its exceptional sharpness. The lot includes its elegant original black faux-leather hard case and the original front cap branded Yashica.
Manufacturer: Yashica Co., Ltd., Made in Japan
Model: ML Macro 55mm f/2.8
Mount: Contax/Yashica (C/Y)
Included accessories: Original hard case, original front cap.
Lot conditions:
Appearance: Excellent cosmetic condition. The metal barrel shows no dents or obvious scratches, the focus knurling is clean, and all the markings and the graduated scales (including the macro ratios in red) are perfectly sharp and legible.
Optics: Looking at the front and rear elements, the glass appears clean.
Functionality: As this item was received as an inheritance, it is sold as untested in the field with a camera. However, the focusing ring rotates smoothly and steadily through its long travel, and the aperture ring clicks correctly at all positions from f/2.8 to f/22.
Shipping:
Fast and tracked shipping. The lens and its case will be protected with secure packaging to preserve their condition during transit.
