INDUSTAR-69 28mm F/2.8 M39 LENS for CHAIKA CAMERAS

The Chaika cameras was produced 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. Industar-69 is a normal angle (standard) coated lens which looks like LTM lens for Leica, FED, Zorki, Bessa and other rangefinder cameras, but it have other optical registration and cover 18x24 frame size only. In the main, most all Soviet lenses are exceptionally good and this one is no exception! ITEM'S CONDITION: EXCELLENT+++++ The glass is very clean, without any scratches, separations or fungus, but some minor cleaning marks can be found. Aperture blades open and close smoothly, focusing is smooth too. Cosmetically the lens looks nice (just examine item's photos, please). All functions are available. * Focus: 28 mm. * Frame size 18x24mm. * Angle of view: about 45 degrees for 18x24mm frame size. * Relative aperture: 1:2.8. * Aperture: from 2.8 up to 16 (without f-stop clicks). * Mounting: M39 (LTM) screw mount, but optical registration is other (more short). Thus the lens will not provide "infinity" focusing at genuine 28.8mm LTM registration. Very good idea is to use the lens with mirrorless digital cameras like Sony NEX, Lumix etc. Just add the adapter for it... * Resolution (pairs of lines per 1 mm): not less than 45 in the center and 20 on the edge of frame. * Filter mount: screw mount 22.5x0.5mm. * Made in USSR at the city of Minsk at the plant of Vavilova (BeLOMO).
