From the editor

A version of the Super YASHINON-R 300/5.5 with a black front rim, which was produced for both Yashica Pentamatic series cameras with the bayonet mount and Yashica Penta series cameras with the M42 screw mount.

It is quite possible that the mount was actually interchangeable and not fixed, since the lens was produced during the transition period in production from the Pentamatic bayonet mount to the M42 screw mount.

Made by Tokina.

Filter size: 43mm (diameter of filter glass).
