Yashica Auto Yashinon 50mm F2 RARE Serviced Photographic Lens | M42 Screwmount!

💎 Bring Classic Japanese Sharpness to Your Camera – A Rare Yashinon Gem

Yashica Auto Yashinon 50mm F2 is a highly respected vintage photographic lens known for its crisp rendering, smooth fall-off, and beautiful color reproduction. Produced during the golden age of Japanese optical engineering, this model remains a favorite among collectors, portrait photographers, and analog enthusiasts who appreciate the unmistakable look of classic glass. This particular copy is the rare early Auto Yashinon variant in M42 screw mount – a version sought after for its build quality, optical purity, and distinctive image character.

This lens has been professionally serviced to ensure dependable performance for modern photographers and vintage camera users. Our workshop fully disassembled the lens, performed internal cleaning, applied fresh lubrication to the helicoid, and calibrated smooth focusing movement. The aperture mechanism has been checked for accuracy and reliability. The lens now operates with the precision expected from a premium vintage optic.

While the glass is free from scratches and fungus, it does contain a few minor stains on internal elements. During testing, we observed no visible impact on the final image. These cosmetic imperfections are simply a by-product of age and do not reduce sharpness, contrast, or overall rendering. Because transparency matters, we are offering the lens at a discounted price.
