There's a bit of info here:

Does your kit have the viewfinder mask?

It is a shame that Yashica designed the 35mm insert to take standard size 24 x 36 mm images, instead of a 24 x 60 mm panoramic. Neutral

If the viewfinder mask is the square piece (top right) in your linked photo then no I only have 5 of the 6...Darn Sad

Ahh, well, of all of the pieces to be missing, that is probably the best one! Very Happy It should still be usable, you would just have to guess at the framing.

Are you going to get a 635 to use it in? If not, it looks like you can sell your kit for quite a lot of money, even without the viewfinder mask! Shocked

I would love to have a TLR one day and since I have this I may look out for the 635...until then it will probably sit in my adapter box.

Sell this adapter MO and buy something useful. To use 35mm film a 120mm camera a silly idea really.Loose all benefits from bigger film size and enjoy all dissadvantage from medium format TLR built vs small 35mm camera Laughing

It may come in handy as something to trade with.
