Default Yashica 21mm viewfinder?

Does anyone know when Yashica had a 21mm lens that required the separate
optical finder, and to what model camera it belonged?

TIA

Yashica made the lens in the early 60's for their rangefinder
interchangeable lensed cameras. Not many were made though.

The non retrofocus 21mm lens was produced in M42 mount in the late 60s and
early 70s for the Yashica TL Electro X SLRs.

Most of the Yashica Electro SLRs had a mirror lock up feature in order to
use this lens.
