Do you know, what is the difference between them? Or they're the same lenses? I have two L3-MC, both of them incredible performers, but never seen the LZ version. Thanks.

Could be the same, I know the 61l/z is multi-coated and m42. L3 looks like it might be a cyrillic version of the same.

They are the same lens. Here is a sample that has L/Z: Click here to see on Ebay All that it means is that you have two domestic versions of the lens that say something that looks like UHДYCTAP L/З. The ones that will actually have L/Z are the export versions that have "INDUSTAR" in english.

Nice to see you here again Csaba! I missed your posts...

Just looked at my Industar and its all in Cyrillic like yours Csaba, so it appears I have a Russian rather than an export lens, but as themoleman says they are definately the same piece of kit, great close up lens and very sharp.

I have a lot to do nowadays, excuse me Attila. Here are some pics with the 61 L3-MC. On monday I made a trip on the hills, was a lot rain, low lights, here is the outcome. You can see some noise, but had to use higher iso.







On the second picture you can see a strange bokeh. Yeah, this is industar, I really like it. Usually I hate that modern, creamy bokeh coming out from new lenses. I found only one, what I like, that is the Canon 135/2L. It has a strange bokeh too, if you use it cleverly.

yes! #3 is absolutely gorgeous. For some reason insects don't seem to like my camera and I.

#3 is very nice.
Almost looks like a little blue person sitting on a leaf (with beautiful wings of course).

Nice pictures, Csaba.

Three good pics to illustrate the lens. I like that type of bokeh, personally. It totally obscures the background and leaves the attention on the subject - which is the whole point.

I like the bokeh on #2
