Overview

The Yashica Auto Yashinon-DX 200mm f/4 is praised for its attractive design with an elegantly flaring built-in lens hood. Optically, it is sharp wide open and very sharp stopped down, with good contrast and flare resistance. Build quality is high, with fine tolerances, though some copies may have a stiff helical. It focuses to 2.5m and is multi-coated. The lens suits amateur and semipro users looking for a well-built, sharp telephoto, comparable to the Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 200/4.
