Overview

The Yashica Yashinon DSB 135mm f/2.8 is a well-built, affordable portrait lens with a solid feel and smooth focus/aperture rings. Optically it delivers sharp results, comparable to Contax Zeiss C/Y variants, though some copies lack a built-in hood. Its main weakness is not explicitly stated, but the lens is praised for value and performance. It suits film photographers seeking a budget-friendly, high-quality telephoto prime.
