Auxillary lenses were usually marketed as being for a particular camera, as each fixed-mount lens was a different design. Whether it has the proper filter ring size is not the issue. There were some third party makers of aux lenses for the Yashicas, but that was all they were for. I never used my set, because for one thing, they are too much trouble to focus, and from what I've read of others experience with them, not much good on image quality. If you want different focal lengths on a rangefinder camera, the least expensive way to go is buy some Russian cameras and lenses. Another other route is to get a Retina, which actually changes out the whole front half of the lens. After that, getting a Leica, Contax, or one of their clones is what you need for true system interchangability. PF |
