Yashica sold the Electro 35 GSN in kit form in addition to selling just the supplementary wide and telephoto lenses as separate items.

The kit did not not seem to sell in large numbers and today complete kits are very rare.

The content of the kit was :

Yashica Electro 35 GSN camera
Telephoto supplementary lens
Wide angle supplementary lens
Viewfinder that fitted the accessory shoe and provided field of view for the supplementary lenses
Two glass filters
Metal lens hood
Cable release
Mini tripod ( marked Yashica but made in Germany ! )

The complete kit packed into a smart fitted case that contained extra slots to carry several film cassettes.
