Yashica ML 135mm f/2.8 - Contax/Yashica Mount

The Yashica ML 135mm f/2.8 is a classic telephoto prime lens for the C/Y mount system. Known for its robust all-metal construction, it features a built-in retractable lens hood and Yashica's Multi-Layer coating. The f/2.8 maximum aperture allows for effective subject separation and performs well in varied lighting conditions, making it a popular choice for portrait and landscape photography. Typical wear points on this model include the integrated hood, which can become loose or stiff. SDS inspects the internal optics for fungus, a common issue in vintage telephoto lenses, and ensures the aperture ring clicks decisively at every stop. We also test the focus throw for consistency across the entire range to ensure the internal grease hasn't dried out.
