Yashica ML 35mm f2.8 Wide Angle Lens Contax Yashica Mount Excellent

Description
The Yashica ML 35mm f/2.8 is a high-performance manual focus wide-angle prime lens built for the Contax/Yashica (C/Y) bayonet mount system. Engineered in Japan, it features Yashica's multi-layer (ML) anti-reflective coating, engineered to suppress internal reflections while maximizing contrast, sharpness, and true-to-life color saturation. Offering a classic, natural 35mm wide field of view, it is ideal for landscape, street, documentary, and architectural photography. Built with precision all-metal barrel construction, it serves as an excellent companion to vintage C/Y film cameras or for adapting to modern mirrorless digital systems.
