Yashica 42-75mm f/3.5-4.5 - Contax/Yashica Mount

The Yashica 42-75mm f/3.5-4.5 is a compact standard zoom lens designed for the Contax/Yashica mount. Intended as a versatile 'walk-around' lens, it covers wide-angle to short-telephoto focal lengths. Despite its modest zoom range, the lens is valued for its lightweight portable design, making it a convenient option for Yashica FX or Contax body users who prefer not to carry multiple primes. Because these were often used as primary lenses, physical wear on the zoom and focus rings is common. SDS inspects the lens for any mechanical play in the barrel and checks the optics for scratches or internal haze. We also verify that the aperture functions correctly across the variable range, ensuring no lag occurs due to aged internal components.
