Manufacturer description

The Auto Yashinon Zoom Lenses are designed to cover the most commonly used focal length range and are equipped with a fully automatic diaphragm. Changes in the focal distance do not shift focus and sharpness is insured throughout its varifocal range. Rapid shooting can be made since it features a compact, lightweight construction.

Heavier weight (1370g) is indicated in the older YASHICA YASHINON LENSES AND ACCESSORIES brochure from the pre DS-M period.
