Zeiss being Zeiss, they have an online archive of data sheets for all their lenses. Does anyone know if there is an equivalent repository for Yashica ML and DSB lenses? I’m talking about the leaflets that were packed with each lens in the box. I have maybe one-third of them. Would anyone like to help me archive them all?

Can you provide a link to the Zeiss archive?

Dale This is the spreadsheet I created using the data from biggles3 in his original forum posting as the 'Draft Lens List'. It's saved as a Google Sheet, and can be exported to other formats or printed as a PDF... docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1djGisgkd2s098X4ahGIjCZJ20ybTf0jCdJv9ZVFQj3w/edit?usp=sharing |

Both of these lists are very impressive and helpful. That's a lot of work!
I like the addition of the filter size in the Zeiss list. That would be nice in the Yashica list, as well.
The only addition to the Zeiss list would be regarding zoom lenses with variable apertures. For example, the f-stops listed for the 28-85mm are "3.3-5.6-8-11-16-22". It would be better listed as "3.3/4.0-5.6-8-11-16-22".

Thanks should mostly go to Graham for the Yashica list, as he gathered all of the data and typed it out for sharing. I merely used a bit of script magic to turn it into a format to import into a spreadsheet and did some housekeeping and organizing. The Zeiss data was somewhat of a short list in comparison and not quite as daunting a task as the Yashica list, but I appreciate that some have found it/them helpful.
With the amount of material that we seem to be creating and accumulating, I think I'll create a new forum topic to use as a posting board for self-hosted documents and miscellaneous downloads served up from the file repository now in use. It should make it much simpler to find links to things like these data sets, without needing to do forum searches or peek-n-poke through postings to find bits and pieces and/or locate links.
