    Absolute bargain of the century Karl! I always was a lover of Yashica cameras and lenses.

    Nice review! I don't have this lens but I did find an ML 50/2.0 lens for a similar bargain price at a charity shop here in Canada and it has become my favourite 50mm for everyday use. By the way, nice to see the stepping stones at Ogmore castle and your shot of Southerndown beach. I was born and raised in Bridgend so I have good memories of these places.

    this lens is very nice and underrated. i own the DS model M42 with rubber ring. the colors are exceptional, cool, deep, paintedley. just keep away from bright lights bc it flares like crazy. besides that the only weakness i see is barrel distortion. the bokeh is also unique-twisted, whispy and silky at the same time. gentle yet energetic

      I was surprised , at how nice the lens was,definitely underrated , part of the fun for me is finding these hidden gems that are underappreciated, and undervalued

    Had this lens since I started photography in 2013. This is the only other lens I got aside from the kit lens for my NEX-6. This lens introduced me to manual and characterful lenses. Cant use it now because of molds. Hopefully I could get it cleaned.

    Seems a nice lens. I've got two copies of the Yashica DS-M - a 1.7 and a 1.4. They look very similar to yours so should be just as good. To my shame I haven't ever used them so I need to do something about that. Great video, thanks for uploading.

    Thank you very much for a nice little review... and yeah, I found a few on ebay for so cheap I'm going to probably snag one. Not that I need another 50 cos I've got the Hexanon, but... it really does look like I'd be pleased.
