I have both of these lenses, a 50/1.7 DS-M, and a 50/1.4 DX. The DX is heavier in construction and the older lens, whereas the DS-M is newer, more compact, and multi-coated. I have only just acquired the DX so I have not had a chance to put some film through the camera, but both lenses fit well and both focus to infinity and accurately to distances in between, so the problem you have is not because your lens is the DS-M, as mine does work just fine. It may be that problem is that the mirror on your camera has slipped out of alignment, in which case you will have the same focussing difficulty with other M42 lenses. I use a variety of M42 lenses on my Yashica TL-Electro-X with no problem, including CZ Jena and Takumar lenses as well as other Yashinons. |
