Time to look at another Russian beautie :)

Today's model was born in 1958 in the KMZ plant in Krasnogorsk, which also fathered the Zorki and Zenit brethren. The Industar-50 (ИНДУСТАР-50) has many incarnations. In its first life, starting in 1953, the Industar-50 was a collapsible lens, very much like the leicafamous Elmar, but already during the 1950s reincarnated as a rigid lens. Several types of the rigid version have been described. This shiny aluminium beauty is one of the more common types. Princelle lists it as K440.

Aperture range: f/3.5-f/16
Minimum focussing distance: 1m
Aperture blades: 8

The П-mark (Просветление, which can be translated as "enlightenment") indicates that coating was applied.

You can also take a look at the Industar-50's dedicated gallery or at my Gallerie de gear.

The ARG-file I use with exiftool: industar50f35rig_5808420.txt
