Russian Industar-61L/D
lens in Leica Thereadmount.
This lens replaced its predecessor
Industar-26m as a standard lens on the FED-3 and all later FED cameras.
The optical design was improved, and a new, Lanthanum glass was used (letter
L is for Lanthanum, D is for Dal'nomer - Rangefinder.
This is the newest multicoated
LTM lens made by the Soviet (now Ukrainian) photo industry. It is sharp
and contarsty, with smooth focusing action and the aperture click-stops.
It is still in production by FED
factory in Kharkov, Ukraine. The lens was also made in universal 42mm
mount for Zenit cameras, its name was Industar-61L/Z.
It was my favorite 50 mm
lens for years, and I still keep it, even though I am not using my 42
mm mount SLRs anymore.
