    Overview

    The Yashica MC Zoom 75-200mm f/4.5 Macro is a vintage manual-focus zoom with a macro function. Optical performance is decent at the long end but soft at wide apertures, with noticeable chromatic aberration. Build quality is solid metal and glass, though the zoom ring can be stiff. It suits photographers seeking an affordable telephoto zoom for film or adapted to mirrorless, especially for macro work, but requires patience with manual focus and handling quirks.
