Did you get this for Andy's RTSII? To use it on your D3 you will need to
mix up some JB weld. Wink

Sorry I do not know anything about YASHICOR lens, it could be M42-mount I guess.

It is M42 mount.

I've a yashiNON, it's a DX M42... Ok lens that one, I'm not excited, but then I'm not excited by 135mm focal length. Of course the Yashicor is likely to be a different and probably later design.

I read that a yashiKOR is an old design, before tomioka pruduced lenses for yashica, and yashinon (better lenses) are in tomioka era.

Good luck.

I have seen a Yashikor M42 200/3.5, and it was the usual 1970's generic-lens style. Maybe it was a third-party-made lens marketed through Yashica ?

It could be that Yashica used the "Yashikor" name in different ways at different times.
