Added: MC Volna-9 50mm f/2.8 (LZOS) for M42

March 23, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

The Volna-9 (Волна-9) is a dedicated macro lens (1:2 magnification). It's a quite well-known lens and is appreciated especially for its smooth bokeh at wide aperture. Also, the iris shape changes depending on the used aperture. The logo (C within a triangle and a circle) indicates it was produced in Lytkarino (Лытка́рино, ~30km from Moscow) at the LZOS factory (Лыткаринский завод Оптического Стекла), a KMZ satellite plant.

Aperture range: f/2.8-f/16
Minimum distance focussing: 24cm
Aperture blades: 6

Princelle lists this lens as Lz80.

You can take a look at its dedicated gallery or at my complete Gallerie de gear.

I use the following dedicated ARG-file with exiftool: mcvolna950f28.txt

-n
-XMP:SerialNumber=916288
-EXIF:LensModel=MC Volna-9 50mm f/2.8 (M42)
-EXIF:MaxApertureValue=2.8
-EXIF:FocalLength=50
-EXIF:FocalLengthIn35mmFormat=50
-EXIF:FNumber=2.8

This works with LR4 and NEX-5 RAW-files.
