Unlock classic optical rendering and timeless portrait character with the Yashica Auto Yashinon 50mm F2, a beautifully preserved vintage prime lens designed for the legendary M42 screw mount system. Known for its smooth tonal transitions, excellent color reproduction, and refined mechanical construction, this 50mm prime has become a favorite among photographers and filmmakers seeking an authentic vintage aesthetic without sacrificing image quality.

This particular copy has been professionally cleaned, adjusted, and re-lubricated, restoring the smooth mechanical feel these lenses were famous for. The focusing action is perfectly dampened, offering precise control for both still photography and manual-focus video workflows. The aperture mechanism operates cleanly across the range, providing consistent exposure and classic out-of-focus rendering characteristic of early Yashica optics.

The Auto Yashinon 50mm F2 is celebrated for its natural color reproduction, modest contrast, and gentle falloff – ideal for portraiture, street photography, and artistic projects. It delivers a pleasing balance between sharpness and softness, producing images that feel organic rather than overly processed.

The 50mm focal length on full frame delivers a natural field of view that closely matches human vision, while its F2 aperture provides excellent control over depth of field.
