The DS-M range, arguably the blueprint for a number of the ML lenses, is one of Yashica's finest. They were multicoated and when you examine, contrast, colour reproduction and flare-handling between the same DS-M and ML models, it's almost impossible to tell them apart. In fact, the only one that is notably better than its DS-M counterpart would be the ML 55 1.2 and that's not in sharpness or contrast but in colour reproduction.
DS-M 28mm f2.8
The DS-M 28mm produces identical images to those of the early ML lenses allowing you to use it on later cameras to great effect but also, thinking backwards, to take piccies with an AX, J4, TL-Electro, etc. that will give you the wonderful finish of the ML series on those M42 bodies.
If you find one, grab it and buy a M42-C/Y adapter or a M42 adapter for your preferred digital camera and enjoy using this lovely little lens.
