Soviet Glass for Sale

Soviet-era lenses for M-39 mount SLR cameras. These are leica thread mount (ltm), but can only be used with slr; they will not properly focus on the rangefinder models.



1. Industar f3.5/50mm. Serial # N6242823. Good glass. Needs lube to smooth out focus; this is an easy job, but I don't have a camera on which to test the results. $4 + $5 U.S. shipping.

2. Industar 3.5/50mm. Serial # N6308123. Good glass. Smooth focus and aperture. $6 + $5 U.S. shipping.

3. Helios-44 f2/58mm. Serial # N0128071. Clean glass, surface wear on barrel. Focus, aperture and pre-set rings operate smoothly. $10 + $5 U.S. shipping.

All three lenses for $20, U.S. shipping included.

I've had very nice results from my Soviet lenses and am sorry I never got to see how these would perform. The camera they came with lasted me exactly one day. I thought I might pick up another, but nothing interesting and affordable has showed up, so it seems time to pass them along to another commie camera enthusiast.

Update:
I see that Fedka.com has a M39 to M42 adapter for these lenses for ten bucks.  Seems like a nice way to see how these lenses would perform without having to resort to one of the old Zenit bodies.
