Yashica's C/Y wide-to-tele zoom — the ML 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5, multi-coated manual-focus glass for the C/Y mount.
The Yashica ML 35-105mm f/3.5-4.5 was a wide-to-short-tele zoom of Yashica's ML line for the Contax/Yashica mount, sharing the C/Y bayonet with Contax Zeiss lenses. It offered a broad native range at an affordable price.
This is a manual-focus C/Y-mount zoom spanning 35-105mm with a variable maximum aperture of f/3.5 to f/4.5 across the range. It fits the same bodies as Contax Zeiss glass and belongs to Yashica's ML series. Additional figures are omitted where they cannot be verified.
The 35-105mm range covers travel, portrait, landscape and general shooting, extending further into the telephoto range than a basic standard zoom. It is a versatile single-lens option for C/Y bodies.
Used copies are affordable as a flexible zoom for the mount. Check the zoom and focus for smooth, even travel, look for internal haze, fungus and coating wear, and confirm clean aperture blades. It adapts to mirrorless with a C/Y adapter.
