Last, in the series of image captures with a Yashica ML series lens I can safely mount on an el-cheapo lens adapter on the Pen E-P5. The Yashica ML 50mm F1.9, after the ML 28mm F2.8, and ML 35mm F2.8, is another scintillating example of what the Yashica ML series is all about. Shooting with a wide-open aperture adds to the softness of the focus and the intensity of the colors.

The Yashica ML 50mm F1.9 lens is part of the Yashica ML series, pro-line multicoated lenses developed and produced by Yashica (Kyocera) to bridge the gap between their consumer-grade DSB line and the state-of-the-art Zeiss T* lenses built for the Contax/Yashica system.

Generally, the ML series are well known for their sharp images, contrasty colors, beautiful color rendering, and given the right aperture opening, swirly bokeh. The 50mm F1.9, individually, is said to be tack-sharp at F8.
