Description
The Yashica MC Zoom 28-80mm was a standard zoom lens offered by Yashica for the Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount, likely during the 1980s. ‘MC’ indicates multicoating. This lens provided a versatile wide-angle to short telephoto zoom range, suitable as a general-purpose walk-around lens. It would have featured a variable maximum aperture, typically around f/3.5 or f/3.9 at the wide end, becoming slower (e.g., f/4.5 or f/5.6) at the telephoto end. As part of Yashica’s own lens line, it was a more budget-friendly option compared to Zeiss zooms.
