Yashica ML 28mm f/2.8 - Contax/Yashica Mount

The Yashica ML 28mm f/2.8 is a wide-angle prime lens for the Contax/Yashica mount, offering a 75-degree angle of view. It is valued for its compact size and sharp rendering, making it a popular choice for landscape and street photography. The ML (Multi-Layer) coating ensures good colour reproduction and minimises flare, even when shooting towards bright light sources. Inspect the lens for any lateral play in the barrel, which can indicate heavy use. The rear element is often exposed, so it should be checked carefully for scratches. SDS ensures the aperture blades are snappy and oil-free, and that the manual focus ring provides the smooth, tactile feedback characteristic of the ML series.
