Hi, still a newbie to Yashica rangefinders. Saw a set of the aux lens for just SGD18. Not sure whether it is meant for MG-1 or GSN. Are aux lens for MG-1 compatible for use with GSN? And vice versa?

Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks. :)
 
All I can tell you is that I have a set of auxiliary lens, which I almost never use, that fit on my GSN but do not fit on my MG-1. You will also need a viewer to use the auxiliary lens.

Hi there and welcome to the forum.

I have a set fitting 55mm filter thread with finder currently in the Classifieds section for sale.
I am asking 15 US.
It is a Petri set of tele and wide aux lenses originally made for the Petri 7s 45mm/1,8.

Please let me know.

What kind of viewer?

?? the viewfinder you mean?
I posted a photo earlier in this thread.
It is a brightline finder with 35 and 90mm brightlines. Approximately.
 
Possibly you posted the photo in the classifieds? I did not see an attachment in the thread, but I don't see everything yet on this system. Are they still available?

Yes they still are. Let's see. Must be in the classifieds. Well, it is a Petri set wide and tele with finder. The lenses are for 55mm filter thread.
I have a photo of the other version, 52mm, but everything else is similar.
 
I have a Yashica Electro 35 GSN also, as I see another subscriber is looking at your lens, and he ask the question if your set will fit the GSN, which is my question too.

I calipered my threads and I come up with 54 mm, but sometimes the thread measurement is given to the center of the thread depth, as I remember, and that may make it 55. What say you?
 
My two aux lenses fit normal 55mm filter thread. The viewfinder fits every accessory shoe. Just try with any 55mm filter or cap if it fits. It is a very standard size.
 
I would like to purchase the items. I'll try to get to the PM area and ask some more questions on shipping/handling and total cost to my Zip code.
