This is an interesting little item - Yashica's M42 non-auto 4-Stage Extension Tube Set.
M42 4 stage extension tubes
Most Yashica extension tube sets appear to be 3-Stage. Yet this set offers 4 tubes and although it appears to be a late production model (from the cameras appearing in the instruction booklet), it is odd that they chose to make one without a connection for the aperture pin. Perhaps that's because of the miniscule No.1 tube which would be difficult to produce with the auto mechanism. The set does not appear in the Accessories brochure in the photo - just the usual 3-Stage Set.
The Instruction Booklet contains an excellent series of magnification tables for the tubes in their various combinations or singly. It's a very nice set with machining to a very high standard.
