Yashica ML 24mm f/2.8 - Contax/Yashica Mount

The Yashica ML 24mm f/2.8 is a high-quality ultra-wide-angle prime for the Contax/Yashica mount. Offering a broader perspective than the more common 28mm, it is highly regarded for its low distortion and edge-to-edge sharpness. The lens is constructed with eight elements in eight groups and features a close-focusing distance of 0.3 metres, making it versatile for creative wide-angle compositions. Prospective buyers should check the front element for coating damage, as the large convex glass is susceptible to contact. The mechanical condition of the aperture ring should be crisp with distinct detents. SDS performs a thorough check of the internal optics for any signs of separation or haze, which can occur in older wide-angle designs.
