As much as I hate to part with these, I'm selling my collection of Yashica ML prime lenses.

These things are absolutely beautiful, and are some of the best vintage lenses you can find. They come from the same factory that makes Zeiss lenses, and use much of the same design. The ML-series is a multi-coated lens. These are in excellent condition, and the color reproductions are beautiful. The bokeh is incredible: no donuts or funky shapes, just a butter-smooth blur in the background.

They also feature 180º throw on the focus ring for incredibly accurate control.

Kit includes:
- 28mm f/2.8
- 35mm f/2.8 (hard to find)
- 50mm f/2
- 135mm f/2.8
- 200mm f/4
- Panagor macro adapter in Y/C mount.

I'm also including two Y/C>EOS adapter rings (Fotodiox). No wobble or play with the adapters. I've used these lenses on my T2i for a couple of years and have gotten some beautiful stuff. Sadly, using primes is impractical on most of what I'm shooting these days.

All lenses include front and rear caps, and the long lenses have hard cases. Macro adapter has a hard-bottomed satchel.

Selling as a set, and not willing to split them up. PM me if you'd like samples of footage or stills from these lenses.

PayPal only, Price includes PayPal fees. US and Canada only, see terms below.

Terms of Sale

- Please ask questions before you buy. I post item descriptions that are accurate to the best of my knowledge, and photos are included. I’ll answer all questions to the best of my abilities, but after-the-fact is a little too late to figure out that this wasn’t the item you needed or wanted.

Domestic buyers (US):
My sale price, unless otherwise noted, does not include shipping costs for which you will be responsible. FedEx Ground is my preferred shipping method as it is inexpensive and reliable.

- You are responsible for any duties/import fees that may arise.

Buy the kit and I'll throw in a LightCraft Workshop Fader ND II, 58mm, for free. Using a simple step-down ring (not included... I believe these lenses have 55mm threads), the Fader ND will easily work with all the Yashicas.

Filter in is pristine condition.

Also offering two Redrock size "A" lens gears, included for current price of $850. These fit the 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm lenses. They will fit the 135mm and 200mm lenses with a larger bolt, but I do not have the extra bolts. Gears are in excellent condition.

So the entire purchase includes all lenses and macro adapter, two EOS adapter rings, FaderND, and two lens gears.

That's a beautiful set, If I had the extra cash, I would jump all over these. Someone will make out nicely on this set. good luck with the sale, I'm guessing they will go quickly.
 
Alex any chance you could show some footage you have taken with these lenses? or any other footage (not yours)? Thanks! I got a t3i.
 
As requested, sample footage.

This was shot with the 35mm and 50mm, and was made for one of the Vimeo weekend challenges. First and last shots were with the 35mm, everything in between with the 50mm, both at f/5.6 and ISO 100. Click over to Vimeo to watch in HD.
