Industar-50
was a very successful Soviet made lens. It was a standard or optional
lens on practically every Zorki camera, from Zorki-S in the mid 50's to
Zorki-4K in the mid 70's. The lens was also made in a 39 and 42 mm SLR
mount and was installed (standard or option) on every Zenit model as well,
from Zenit-S to Zenit-E. It came in different shapes and finishes, from
a chrome collapsible Elmar-style lens to a black "flat" Zenit lens. The
optical formula was always the same, the lens produced sharp and contasty
images.
This Industar-50 is the newer,
rigid barrel black finished design used on the later Zorki-4 and Zorki-4K
The lens was made in 1970 by KMZ
plant.
