Hello

Just won an auction on ebay for $12, Yashica TL Electro X with Yashica 50/1.7 and this lens. It looks like Yashica 135/3.5, but grip is completely different. Any ideas?



Aperture starts with 3.5 and distance is given in feet.

Hmm... unusual to see a 200feet marking on a 135mm lens.
More likely on a 200, 250 and 300mm lens.
I don't know this lens but I would guess that it is 200mm f3.5
Cheers
OH

Yes, it do looks like 200/3.5, but this lens has aperture control in the middle, while 200/3.5 has on the rear.

Are you sure that it is a Yashica lens.
Another M42 perhaps?
OH

Well, just seller stated "two yashica lens" and one of them can be clearly seen and is 50/1.7

Wait and see. It looks a little Mamiya-ish to me but I am interested to see what it turns out to be.

The aperture is in typical Fujita style

If you trust the seller, you don't need to ask here.

It's not about the trust. Many sellers aren't professionals. How many times you've encountered "equipped with rokunon 49mm uv lens" ? Smile

It appears to be Fujita 135/3.5, but with restyled grip:

I'm no longer certain these are Fujita.
They certainly could be, and have a family relationship at least in appearance with the lenses for the Fujita/Kalimar/Soligor 66 SLR.

Got it.

It is Soligor 135/3.5 in mint condition, except it has separation points between glued front elements Sad
