    24mm · f/2.8

    Overview

    The Yashica ML 24mm f/2.8 is a compact, well-built lens with solid handling. Optically, it offers excellent sharpness even wide open, outstanding distortion control, and good close-up performance. Weaknesses include significant vignetting at f/2.8 that only clears by f/5.6 (Orio), and corner performance that lags behind some competitors. A third-party hood may cause vignetting. It suits users seeking a sharp, distortion-free wide-angle for close focusing or general use, but who can manage the wide-open vignetting.
