So I think i might part ways with my 55 1.2 yashinon. it is in perfect condition with no fungus or scratches. The rear element has a unique slice taken out of it which causes really cool cat eye looking bokeh. it is listed on ebay for $1,200.
google it and if you are interested i can take better pictures of it.
"The Auto YASHINON® TOMIOKA® 55mm F=1.2 [DX] in M42 screw mount is the worldwide probably best known lens of TOMIOKA OPTICAL CO., LTD®. It was designed and produced originally for the company YASHICA® . The silver aperturte ring seeming noble serves as a special distinguishing feature. The broad checkered focussing ring has been manufactured from black lacquered aluminium. The exceptionally high-quality and solid processing of the mechanical components conveys the feeling to the photographer to have any time a reliable "piece of glass" at his disposal."
$600
