The first landscape photographs in particular were not at all convincing and could not be significantly upgraded in post-processing either. The biggest challenges: The lack of quality with an open aperture and the less than optimal handling of the lens. So despite good models and a great location, it will be a challenge to achieve my goal of good photos. Although this can be weakened a bit by stopping down to f/4 or f/8, the somewhat pale image look remains. The pictures simply lack contrast, colors and sharpness. And even if the Yashica 28mm made a high-quality impression, the first photos were a bit sobering. Raphael – tricky.pics November 22, 2021įirst impressions rarely lie. I took the #Yashica 28mm f2.8 Lens out for a review. Since autumn is known to produce the best colors, I have formulated three tasks for the day: test the Yashica lens, make the models Eva and Julia happy with good photos and, last but not least, prove to myself that I can get good photos out of every lens.īut let’s start with the technical data for the Yashica 28mm f2.8: So perfect conditions to finally get another M42 lens off the shelf and test it for a review. I picked mine up for twenty pounds on an old Mamiya 500sx body, fortunately it wasn`t the sx version so no extra footering with modifying adapters to get it to fit, hope this helps.November days are short, cold and unfriendly. MFD is 45 cm, I have the original chrome version but have read the later all black version has the same optical formula and an MFD of 30cm. In the hands of someone a wee bit more talented than myself this could be a really good lens. and there are a couple posted elsewhere recently in the forum if you look under railways in themes and my entry for the beatles contest. More colours and contrast (misfocused though!)Īll shot on the A35 no pp except some levelling on the hip shot. Nothing outstanding from me in photographic terms to date (I`m still learning) but its got more all round quality than the others in terms of contrast, colour rendition and sharpness and probably beats the pentacon by being slightly wider and slightly faster. However I did acquire an auto mamiya sekor 28mm 2.8 in m42 a couple of weeks ago and I think thats becoming my favourite. I`ve also tried a couple of cheaper 24 and 25`s with nothing startling so far, as is generally reported of the cheaper wide angle m42`s. None of them were better all round to date than the Pentacon 30mm 3.5 ( haven`t used the vivitar enough yet but know what it can`t do!) So far I have tried a Derek Gardner ( Chinon ), the Vivitar close focus 28mm 2.8 (komine) and the Hoya HMC which is well regarded and supposedly identical to the more expensive Tokina RMC. Its difficult to find a cheapish 28mm m42 that is a good all rounder. Been trying a few 28mm as its a nice walkaround focal length on apsc ( 35mm can be awkward sometimes).
