Frame dimension of 24x36 mm. the angular field of the sight of 46° (according to others data - 45°), permission (center/edge) - 42/13 line(s)/mm (according to others data - 40/18 ), minimum diaphragm - 22.

Couldn´t find much info about this lens. It was meant for "Zorki" type rangefinder cameras with M39 thread mount and register distance of 28,8 mm.

http://www.novacon.com.br/Spravochnik2.htm says, that
Mercury-1 lens was developed, but not serial produced.

So probably there is only a few, if any, test lenses around, and no photo examples to be seen. Maybe our Russian members couild tell more.
