Based on the legendary four-element Carl Zeiss Tessar optical formula, this \"pancake\" lens is famous for its diminutive size and impressive central sharpness. Despite its tiny footprint, the Industar 50-2 delivers high-contrast images with a distinct vintage rendering that modern, clinically perfect lenses cannot replicate. Its robust all-metal construction and simple mechanical design have made it a favorite for street photographers and enthusiasts who value a \"stealthy\" setup. With its universal M42 screw mount, it is easily adaptable to almost any modern digital camera system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003eIconic \"Pancake\" design—one of the smallest 50mm lenses ever made\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003eSharp f\/3.5 Tessar-style optical formula for high-contrast, detailed imagery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003eUniversal M42 screw mount for easy adaptation to mirrorless and DSLR systems\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003eRobust all-metal and glass construction built for durability and longevity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,4,0\"\u003eNatural 50mm focal length, providing a human-eye perspective\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,5,0\"\u003ePrecise manual focus ring with a tactile feel for critical focusing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,6,0\"\u003eSeven-blade diaphragm (in many versions) for pleasing out-of-focus highlights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntroductory Paragraph\u003c\/b\u003e The Industar 50-2 is the ultimate \"pocket\" prime lens. This specific unit (S\/N: 7618542) represents the 50-2 version, which was the standard lens for millions of Zenit SLR cameras, proving its reliability over decades of use. The 50mm focal length is incredibly versatile, acting as a standard lens on full-frame cameras and a perfect portrait lens (75mm equivalent) on APS-C sensors. Because it is so thin, it turns even a bulky camera into a portable street-shooting machine. Whether you are seeking the \"Soviet look\" with its unique flare and micro-contrast or simply want the smallest possible lens for your daily carry, the Industar 50-2 offers an unbeatable combination of size and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition Report\u003c\/b\u003e Good condition. The lens barrel (S\/N: 7618542) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its vintage age. The optics are clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The manual focus mechanism is smooth and consistent. The aperture ring moves freely, and the diaphragm blades are clean and free of oil. The M42 screw mount threads are in excellent condition, ensuring a secure fit to your camera or adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/b\u003e \"The Industar 50-2 is a little giant. What I love about this S\/N: 7618542 is that it’s so small you can almost forget it's on the camera, yet the image quality is surprisingly 'punchy.' It has that classic Tessar sharpness in the middle that makes it great for street photography. When you shoot it wide open at f\/3.5, it has a lovely, soft fall-off at the edges that gives photos a real sense of depth and nostalgia. It’s a rugged, minimalist tool that proves you don't need a massive piece of glass to take a world-class photograph.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003eIndustar 50-2 50mm f\/3.5 Prime Lens (S\/N: 7618542)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eFront Lens Cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eRear Lens Cap (M42)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Lenses\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eLens Mount: M42 Screw Mount\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 50mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eAperture Range: f\/3.5 - f\/16\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eCategory: 2.
