Hi,

let me show you quite uncommon (or should I say an ultra rare ... [:)]) Industar-26M lens for early SLR cameras. Released in 1955 by KMZ.

Great find Aidas!

Would you mind to take a photo from the side (if possible beside a RF Industar-26) for us? Thank you!

Thanks, Luiz!

It's interesting to say, that RF Industar-26M #570100 (shown on KMZ website) is my lens indeed ... [:)][:)][:)]. I have bought it from DVDTechnik more than year ago, but Yuriy still can't find this lens in his huge stock to send it out to me ... Sometimes it happens unfortunately ... [:)]

Thank you Aidas!

Hum, it's interesting to see that the physical size is nearly the same! The frontlens is recessed - almost like a macro lens. If the optical formula is the same as the RF-lens', the backlens must be close to the mount...
