^^^ You liking that 28 so far? I seem to remember that my father in law has a film body with a 50mm Yashica mounted to it in his office. We're planning on visiting them in another month - I'll have to remember to bring a C/Y adapter with me this time so that I can try it out.

You should bring an M42 adapter too just in case, Yashica made lenses for both mounts

I have only used it on the one day out but yes, it does seem a nice, sharp contrasty lens. Certainly more contrast than the Yashica 50's or the Helios lenses I have. It feels nice to use too if that makes sense

I think I'm going to use them more when I'm on my own though. When out with the girlfriend &/or kids they struggle to use the manual so there's an obvious split of in focus & out of focus images lol

I'll have to look and see if I have any M42 adapters around - I haven't had or looked at any M42 glass in a while, so I might have sold it with the last M42 that I had (probably a 50/1.4 SMC Takumar).

If you don't have the matte screen for your MkII, you should get it - it makes all of the difference in the world.

^^^ I do have one fitted yes. I think I had it before I properly got into the manual lens malarky
