Yashica's affordable C/Y tele zoom — the ML 80-200mm f/4, multi-coated manual-focus glass for the C/Y mount.
The Yashica ML 80-200mm f/4 was a telephoto zoom of Yashica's ML line for the Contax/Yashica mount, sharing the C/Y bayonet with Contax Zeiss lenses. It offered a native telephoto zoom for the mount at a lower cost.
This is a manual-focus C/Y-mount zoom spanning 80-200mm with a constant maximum aperture of f/4. 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 80-200mm range suits portraits, travel telephoto work and some sport and wildlife, offering reach and compression in a single lens. It is a practical telephoto zoom for C/Y bodies.
Used copies are affordable as a budget telephoto 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.
