Produced in Japan by Tomioka\/Yashica, the ML (Multi-Layered) coating series was designed to compete directly with Carl Zeiss glass, offering outstanding contrast, rich color fidelity, and effective flare reduction. With its bright f\/1.4 maximum aperture, it produces beautiful, creamy background bokeh and smooth depth-of-field isolation. Built with solid all-metal construction, it is an ideal lens for 35mm film SLRs as well as adapting to modern mirrorless digital systems.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOverall Condition: Excellent\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOptics are fungus and haze free.
