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 1:1.9, 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 1:1.9 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 1:1.9, individually, is said to be tack-sharp at F8.
