When acquiring lenses - whether I plan on using them to shoot with, or just in collecting them - I try to keep info on whatever I have when they start numbering more than 2 or 3 from the same model series. I also append whatever basic data I get with anything I track down for accessories and their specs that may not always get included from the original sources. Specifically I'll add info for filter sizes, included or recommended lens hoods and/or cases, and add in notes that will help if/when I decide to purchase an accessory that didn't come with whatever lens I buy or already have.
I've done this with the entire set of dealer catalog inserts for the Yashica ML series that was published in 1987. (available in a PDF from Pacific Rim Camera's archives HERE). I've also started to add in additional sheets for notes and later lens releases and revisions that will be added to over time.
I've placed a shared copy of what I have so far as a Google Sheet [HERE] that anyone with this link can view. If you want one of your own to edit or modify for your own use, create a copy or download it in whatever format you can use. All I ask is that you don't make use of this to generate revenue in any way. Use it however you choose, but share it for free.
I also plan on uploading another sheet later on that's similar, but for non-AF Nikon lenses from the 50s-80s. It will be geared to dealing with details for hoods, angle finders, and eye-cups. If you're interested in the Nikon stuff, let me know and I'll update this post once it's up and available.
Other than these 2 brands and specific model sets, I don't have anything this detailed and available for other lenses - so - please don't ask for 'XYZ's stuff', or if I'd be willing to share what I have. I don't and won't have anything shareable for anything else - with one exception. I'm working on cleaning up some OCR scans of retail box inserts on the Yashica DX series, but that will take quite a bit of time, and it's the only other thing I'm planning on sharing once done.
