Yashica built a strong reputation for offering excellent optical quality at accessible prices, and their Yashinon lenses remain popular with film shooters and digital adapters alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eWith its bright f\/1.9 maximum aperture, this lens delivers pleasing subject separation and soft, natural-looking backgrounds. Wide open it shows a gentle vintage glow, while stopping down brings crisp sharpness and good contrast, giving you two distinct looks from one compact lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe lens has a solid, all-metal feel typical of Japanese lenses of the period. The focus ring turns smoothly, and the aperture ring provides clear click stops for easy, tactile control. Its compact size makes it a comfortable everyday lens on both film SLRs and mirrorless bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eAs an M42 lens, it uses an automatic diaphragm actuated by the camera's stop-down pin, so it works smoothly with compatible screw-mount SLRs. A 52mm filter thread makes it easy to fit common filters and hoods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eThe 50mm focal length is endlessly versatile. It is excellent for street photography, travel, everyday snapshots, and environmental portraits, and on APS-C mirrorless bodies it becomes a flattering short telephoto for portraits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eM42 is one of the easiest mounts to adapt. With a simple M42 adapter, this lens works on Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Micro Four Thirds, and many other systems. On adapters, be sure the aperture pin is depressed so that the aperture ring controls the diaphragm directly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eVintage Yashinon lenses are appreciated for their character, build quality, and value. They offer a classic rendering that modern lenses rarely reproduce, making them a favorite among photographers and videographers seeking a more organic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;\"\u003eIf you are looking for a fast, characterful 50mm with authentic Japanese craftsmanship, the Yashica Auto Yashinon-DS 50mm f\/1.9 is a rewarding choice for film cameras and modern mirrorless systems alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"color: rgb(44, 62, 80); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 24px; background: linear-gradient(135deg, rgb(244, 249, 255) 0%, rgb(232, 242, 252) 100%); border: 1px solid rgb(207, 224, 241); border-radius: 10px; padding: 18px 20px;\"\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:bold;color:#173b63;margin-bottom:8px;\"\u003e Specialty Store for Used Cameras \u0026amp; Lenses \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.9;color:#42586e;\"\u003e We are a Japan-based specialty store focusing on used cameras and lenses.\u003cbr\u003e Our items are carefully inspected and described as accurately as possible for international buyers. \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Yashica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50647491412106,"sku":"20261011JPY","price":26.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/2977\/4474\/files\/s-l1600_274fa6dd-936b-4397-a9e1-cc960276cf43.jpg?v=1793591083","url":"https:\/\/peek-a-boo-camera-japan.myshopify.com\/products\/near-mint-yashica-auto-yashinon-ds-50mm-f-1-9-m42-mf-lens-from-japan-e0506","provider":"PEEK A BOO CAMERA JAPAN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
