After a difficult time trying to decipher your writing, I regret to tell you that you can't get lenses for your Yashica 635. The lenses are permanently attached. This is the case with most TLR's.
I know this isn't an English composition forum but your writing is atrocious.

Gene M. - your reply just put you a little higher on my respect scale. :)
Anyone who uses a Seagull deserves what he gets. :) But, seriously, and to phrase it in your own vernacular, it is like, dude, get a clue, it is a TLR. The only lenses you can get are aux. clip-ons like a 0.7x or 1.4x wide or tele from the brand x manufacturers. The only place to find these would be in, well, duh, a real camera store or eBay (go to eBay, I need more money).
Hopefully you are not referring to filters as "lenses" as the lame folk do in garage sales as in "Oh, yes, I have a camera for sale and it come with all the lenses." only to be taken aback that it is a Kodak Pony or some other worthless thing with 2 or 3 filters. In that case, you would be looking for Bay 1 sized filters.
And ask your uncle where the 35mm adapter kit is that goes with that 635 so you can use 35mm film also.

Hey guys, I for one am happy to see that there is an influx of young medium format photographers. Apparently no one is too young when it comes to classic cameras, but I hope next time the first graders finish their studies before going wild on the intertubes.
I was like DAMN ! your camera OWNS MINES !
Priceless. And my Mamiya C33 TLR "0wnz" all of yours since it does have real interchangeable lenses...

Don't worry, the members of the medium format forum (and Classic Manual Camera forum for that matter) are a crusty old bunch but like you we love the old photographic equipment and will forgive your txt style English if you go out and do some shots with your Yashica and post them on the forum. Take care.

But, Tom, how could a young person who is growing up in this digital age, even know a good TLR from a bad one? Most have never even seen a TLR.
Robert have fun with your Yashica!
