Industar-50 50/3.5 Rigid Black

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.
