Intended for Yashica 635 cameras with Bay 1 filter mounts, Yashica offered both a wide angle and telephoto set comprising an auxiliary viewing lens and taking lens. The earliest type, already branded Yashinon , didn t have the later silver band and the taking lens body tapered in a a cone shape for both wide angle and telephoto types. These are fairly rare. They have brown elliptical leather cases with the auxiliary taking lens and viewing lens sitting next to each other. Both viewing and taking lenses have serial numbers, later types don t.
