Yashica lenses in L39 screw mount

I've been watching ebay for some time, and saw those you mention. A few of the Super-Yashinon 100's show up, but they're in Pentamatic bayonet, and/or are waaaay overpriced. Between the Yashinon, Nicca, Elmar, and a pair of Canons, I have the standard length well handled. The Canon 100 and 135 more than cover the short tele range for me already. I might add a Topcor-S 50mm if I find one in great shape for a reasonable price, but that's one that can be both a user and keep it's (reasonable) value as a collectable lens.

Since these are intended to be users and not shelf-sitters, $1k for a lens for rarity sake just won't happen. It would have to be chock full of extraordinary and unique magic at anywhere near that price to get my attention, and it better be attached to a worthwhile body, even then.

I'm happy with what I have, although I'd like to fill the gaps at the extreme ends for a 200 (if one was actually produced), and a 28 and/or 35. Finding a 28mm Yashica doesn't look like an option in L39, so that leaves a 35mm Yashinon/Yashikor or an Acall, which I'm currently assuming is what was rebranded into the Yashica. If there might be a worthy replacement for any others that I have under Yashica branding, I'd be open to that too, but hopefully they'd have great optics and be available at sensible prices.

There are quite a few caveats noted in the listing, but there are a number of photo samples taken with the lens on a Sony NEX.

Over the past few years I've also seen several Industar 50-2 lens casings used to convert many of the Yashica T series Zeiss lenses for adaption to other mounts. Some were left as M42, and others were rethreaded as L39. They too - just like the 38mm above - usually show up from Russian ebay sellers.
