I assume that was a typo because this is the first I've heard of it....

Mir 10A and Industar 61 L/Z have peculiar star shaped aperture, and they happen to be pretty decent lenses, and not too expensive either.


Volna-9 too and it is a better lens than the similar 61 L/Z Wink

Strangely, my Volna-9 is not as good as my Industar-61 L/Z... maybe a bad copy.

I tested the Super Takumar 50mm macro, the Volna-9 and Ind. 61 L/Z against each other a few years ago. Ind 61 can focus close, but not to 1:2 as the Takumar and the Volna. Sharpness is similar on all of them. Volna-9 has the best bokeh and is the better choice IMO Wink

I really like the Zenitar ME-1 with it's square bokeh for example. Im currently trying to get one for around 50 Euros.


That's an unrealistic price because no one is selling this lens under 300 Euro and there are only 4000 copies so I don't think the seller doesn't know the value of this lens. Be careful, don't be mistaken with the regular Zenitar 50/1.7 lens, it doesn't make square bokeh.
