The Yashica Yashinon-DX 28mm Wide Angle lens is a very useable lens. It has a nice wide field of view with no distortion. It works great on extension tubes where it allows you to get up close and yet still fit the entire subject in the frame.

NOTE: The rear lens group protrudes more than most with the lens focused at infinity. Care needs to be taken when mounting this lens. It will interfere and/or come in contact with the mirror in many cameras, especially DSLR's.
