I admit I bought these to adapt to my Canon 5D d*****l SLR but the mirror hits the rear element on both lenses near infinity focus so if you're looking at this ad to adapt to your d*****l Canon you will need to be either on a 1.6x APS-C sensor or one of those newfangled mirrorless cameras, or you have an EOS RT with the pellicle mirror.

I would keep them but I have no screwmount 35mm bodies. They are absolutely gorgeous.

The first is a Yashinon-DX 35mm 2.8. Aperture blades are snappy. It has a manual-automatic diaphragm setting at the base of the lens so it can be used on super-old school stuff like a Zenit E. These were originally on a Spotmatic which I will be listing this week for the original owner. The glass is flawless without even internal dust and the focus is nice and smooth. It comes with a Hoya Skylight 1a filter (52mm) that has a teeny dent in the edge but the glass itself is fine.

I'd like $50 plus shipping in the CONUS which should be like 6 bucks or something USPS Priority

This other guy here was a gamble I took. It's a Yashinon-DX 50mm 1.4 that initially had a jammed focus mechanism. Instinctively I removed the silvernose ring and it had a loose screw inside, so I re-attached it and tightened up everything else it is as good as new now. Like the 35 it has flawless glass. Snappy blades and it also has that manual-automatic diaphragm setting. Made a pleasant image on my 5D, background renditions are smooth and creamy yet even wide-open sharpness is pretty good for 1.4 glass. It comes with a 55mm Hoya Skylight 1a and some sort of metal lens hood that is also 55mm.

I would take 75 plus shipping which is also going to be 6 dollars CONUS USPS Priority.

Both come with rear caps. I do ship international I will need to know your customs info before I ship.

I take Paypal, Western Union and USPS money order. Items ship from 32904 Florida

Buy them both I'll throw in a roll of 35mm. I'll see what I have in my stash but I know there's some good stuff in there, I've been consumed with 120 and 220 format lately.

No trades please.
