This is, I think, one of the earliest Yashica Bellows units for their M42 mount as it is more basic than the others having only a single focusing rail. It has no model number, unlike later versions, which might suggest its the progenitor of the range. Yashica Early M42 BellowsI believe I've posted images of several of Yashica's other M42 bellows elsewhere in the Forum's pages; they all had twin focusing rails which certainly makes for a more stable environment for close-up photography. Despite the single rail, this is made with top quality components and remains straight and true; there are no signs of any issues with the actual bellows. It's a bit of luck to find one with its original box.
