The lens coating reduces the amount of light that is reflected off the surface of the lens, resulting in sharper and clearer photos. The lens has a maximum aperture of f/4, which means that it can capture more light than lenses with smaller apertures. This makes it a great choice for low-light photography.

The build quality of the Yashica Auto Yashinon-DX 200mm f/4 is good, with a solid metal construction that feels durable. The lens was manufactured in the 1970s and 1980s, so it may not be as advanced as modern lenses, but it is still capable of producing high-quality images.

The lens produces a pleasing bokeh, which is the quality of the out-of-focus areas in a photo. The bokeh is smooth and creamy, making it ideal for portrait photography. The resolution of the lens is good, producing sharp and detailed images.

Overall, the Yashica Auto Yashinon-DX 200mm f/4 is a great option for photographers who want a telephoto lens with good build quality, sharp optics, and a pleasing bokeh.
