Here is something that is a Yashinon lens but sort of isn't as you can see...
Yasinon (sic) 6.5mm f1.4 Cine lens
It is from the earliest days of Yashica when it was a brand of Yashima Optical Industries. You will have spotted that the lens is not called a Yashinon but a Yasinon.
It's a D-mount lens and is a 6.5mm f1.4 type intended for use in 8mm movie cameras.
Another D-mount Yashica lens is shown below - this time a 38mm f4 Yashinon.
Yasinon 38mm f1.4
Eagle-eyed members here will have spotted that the lens correctly shows the new Yashinon name while the Yashima packaging still shows the earlier Yasinon branding. I suppose the new packaging was not yet ready...
