COMES WITH
- Yashica ML 50mm f/1.4 prime lens (top lens in the last two photos). EXC condition, clear glass, no scratches or fungus, minor internal dust which will not affect perfromance. Aperture is snappy and blades are oil-free, just minor staining on edges. Focusing is smooth. The barrel of the lens shows minimal signs of use, just a tiny bit of brassing on the front rim and focus ring. Warning 81B filter (great for portraits!) and circular polarizer filter are included, as well as original Yashica front cap. Great, sharp prime, often compared to equivalent Zeiss product in optical quality.
- Camera strap and a set of fresh batteries for the meter.
