Hi,

I’m really thinking about getting a used Yashica MC 35-70mm (exactly like yours). My original options were Canon FD and Pentax SMC. How do you compare the Yashica to these lenses in terms of build/handling, and image quality (sharpness, bokeh, etc)? Thanks a lot!

I have used this in summer light a bit lately, when it is easier to focus then in out swedish dark winter. Much nicer in the summer light :)

I think the difficulty to focus with this lens is similar to every manual ZOOM where the range of the focus ring is very short compared to fixed lens, where the ring can run over up to quite all the circle of the lens. I have another 35-70 M42, the KOMURA KMC, not a bad lens, pretty good in fact, but very hard to focus. The same with a 35-105 Makinon MC. I use these lens at infiny focus for landspaces or teleobj, because they are precise.

I have one of these lenses, although I use it with the camera it came on, the Yashica 108. It’s a very good lens, and the only problem I’ve come across after 10 years of usage is that it looses it’s sharpness and needs to be re-adjusted. This can easily be acomplished by loosening the front ring that covers the lens (the piece where the letters YASHICA LENS MC ZOOM are printed) and screwing the lens back in place using the little orifice that exists near the edge of the aforementioned ring.
