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. ITEM'S CONDITION: WELL-USABLE, ADJUSTED TO LTM, TESTED WITH TAKING PHOTOS The glass is enough clean and will bring nice images, without scratches, separations or fungus, but some cleaning marks at optics and some pieces of dust inside can be found. Aperture blades open and close smoothly, focusing is very smooth too (lubricated). Cosmetically the lens looks nice (just examine item's photos, please). All functions are available. You can see example photos taken with presented lens at F2.8 & F8. I took it with my Olympus OM-D camera and with usual M39/M43 adapter. I received correct distance scale and could focus it just "on-eye" according with visible distance. TECHNICAL FEATURES * Brand: BelOMO. * Model: Industar-69. * Focus: 28 mm. * Frame size 18x24mm. * Angle of view: about 45 degrees for 18x24mm frame size.

New aperture index was placed after the adjustment. NOTE: The lens will not provide correct focus with Chajka cameras after this adjustment. It can be re-adjusted back to Chajka's 27.5mm without any problem. * Very good idea is to use the lens with mirrorless digital MFT cameras like Sony NEX, Olympus & Lumix with Micro 4/3 mount 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. * Sharpness is decreased at corners of the frame even for Micro 4/3 format.
