Opinion: I have only used this lens with a Sony A7IV, and never made argentic photos with it. The A7IV's JPEGs are disappointing, with contours giving a video effect of the 80s. Obviously the A7IV does not know how to develop images of 21mm, giving it a correction of detail much too advanced even without looking for that. But a raw file, developed for example with RawTherapee, is simply fabulous! Even observed at 100%, the images are perfect at f:5,6.
The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Small dimensions, exceptionally robust and precise construction, the absence of aberrations, well contained flare, excellent sharpness at the center.
Cons:Use stop down with non-linear trend of meter reading. Sharpness at the extreme edges not very good. cold color rendering.
Opinion:This slow, hard to find, and with high prices, it's a little gem of yashica home, and probably the one I prefer. I add that I have a nice collection of yashica and some Zeiss lenses, and having tried many I can say that this is a very good vintage 21mm lens, really practical to carry around for a landscaper, and that gives great satisfaction. As with all lenses a bit 'dated the file must be worked to get us out the most, but with this lens we start with a good base of sharpness and the almost total absence of chromatic aberrations. This point often overlooked but in my paramount notice. Probably this lens is worth much more than its market despite high prices.
