I bought a Yashica 8 and it doesn't have lenses.

Does anyone have any for sale or know where to find them?

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to the forum Raymond. I believe that camera takes the standard D mount lens that many 8mm cameras used. The thread diameter is 15.88 mm (0.625 inch). There are a lot of them on ebay just make sure to ask if there is any haze, fungus, mold or other problems before you buy one. You will want a 12.5mm or 13mm as your standard lens. a wide angle is around 5mm to 6.5mm and a telephoto is 36mm to 38mm. I find that I use a standard and wide angle the most.
