Yashica lens

[kminov]

Hi,

I got a Yashica ML 50/1.4 converted to pentax. Any idea where I can find the original mount so it's back to C/Y?

Look around for a cheap spares or repair lens on an auction site.

Couldn't you get this and swap the mount

Dear kminov,

If you only need the outer ring, Yashica DSB and YUS (single coating) lenses can be found for a very low price and swapping them looks to be quite simple.

BTW, the YUS 135mm f/2.8 is really a nice compact lens if you run across one.

Good luck,

A year or two back there were some new Yashica ML lenses on ebay going cheap. They seem to have been a batch intended for CCTV and lacked stop down pins. I haven't got round to replacing the pin because I use it exclusively for video and stop down manually, but I checked out mount removal and it looks very straight forward, so I agree - use a cheap donor DSB for the job.
