FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE! BelOMO plant INDUSTAR-69 28mm F2.8 M39 LENS for CHAIKA CAMERAS ADJUSTED TO LEICA LTM FOCUS AND WILL PROVIDE INFINITY ABOUT ITEM'S ORIGIN (You can SKIP it!) The Chaika cameras was produced in 1965-1973 years at Belorusskiy Optical and Mechanical Factory (BeLOMO). "Chaika" was space ID of Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in the World who made the space voyage. Chaika cameras were point-&-shoot cameras, but it had been equipped by removable Industar-69 lens. After some adjustments this lens can be used with 28.8mm registration and will provide "infinity" focusing at LTM cameras and adapters. In the main, most of Soviet lenses are exceptionally good and this one is no exception! ITEM'S CONDITION: USED, ADJUSTED TO LTM, TESTED The glass is enough clean to bring nice images, without scratches, separations or fungus but with some cleaning marks. Aperture blades open and close smoothly, focusing is smooth too (lubricated). I added black velvet to rear part to reduce light flares. Cosmetically the lens looks nice for above 50 years old lens (just examine item's photos, please). The lens was TESTED. You can see example photos taken with presented lens at F2.8 & F8 at the distance around 3m. I took it with my Olympus OM-D camera and with usual M39/M43 adapter.
