Description
The Industar-50 is one of the most successful Soviet made lenses. 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 M39 and M42 SLR mounts and was installed (standard or optional) 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 “pancake” Zenit lens.
The optical formula was always the same (Leitz Elmar 50/3.5), the lens produced sharp and contrasty images.
This Industar-50 is the Elmar-type collapsible version. It was primarily used on the Zorki-5, but was also sold separately. The Industar-50 was also a popular enlarger lens.

This lens is a good performer that makes the camera easy and convenient to carry. It makes an excellent second or backup to a regular rigid mount lens. I would say that this lens is a very good value. As usual Yuri does a fine job with delivery and support of his products.

Yuri picked out a nice example for me. I’m very happy with the lens. Yuri’s customer service is second to none even for pesky customers like me.

Yuri is a true professional who treats his clients as such. The Industar 50 chrome collapsible lens is every bit the “excellent” rating he has given it. I am very pleased and will certainly buy my next Fed 2 from him! Thank you, Yuri =^)

Excellent lens. No fogging or haze of any kind. Lens looks brand new! The shipping was fast as always and I will continue to buy from Yuri

I’m a big fan of the Industar lenses, especially the Industar-50. There’s a creamy smooth, jewel-like sharpness to these lenses and performs brilliantly in just about all lighting conditions (albeit, the I-50 is a bit flare prone when pointed directly at a strong light source). The Industar-50 is simply an excellent lens.

Hi, recieved my Industar-50 3.5 collapsible lens today. Thank you very much for selling it to me at the price you did. It is even better than how you described it. A jewel of craftmanship, and really smooth to use. Thank you again and I count myself lucky to have been advised to buy from you.

This is a very nice lens and Yuri gave me the right kind of advice.

I did not expect such an old lens to be in such good condition when I got it from Fedka.com. Immaculate and great performer for its age, this lens was definitely well taken care of by Yuri. I won’t be buying my Russian lenses anywhere else!

I have quite a few Industar prime lenses, and this is my favorite lens by far.
The lever gives great focusing control. The placement of the aperture control is a little strange, being at the front of the lens. I love it’s compactness, the “old-school” design is so darned sexy, and image quality is very good. Highly recommended!
