Hi there,
I just had a look on the Industar 50-2 and it looks to be a very funny lens to play around. They say that is incredible sharp even wide open and it looks very compact one.
Do you have it? Any samples? How would you compare it with other 50 lenses you might have? Do you find it a "creative" lens?
Regards
Alex |

Mine had problems with flare and low contrast.
You can make a hood out of black film canister.

Yes, it is a tiny and fine lens.
I really like to use my copy with extension tubes for "macro" shots.
The tubes are EOS-M42 with confirm focus which help a lot for critical focus...

It's not a creative lens. It has tessar formula.
Sharp, but may have problem with flare, so hood is welcome.
A very good quality/price ratio IMHO. Also very small and light.

Tessar is 4 elements in 3 groups.
Who told that you need it? 
If you love it, it's worth 10 or 15 euros.

I had one in the 70's - probably the worse standard lens I ever had. Flary and incredibly soft in the corners. It may be ok on crop but not full frame.

It's very tiny and lightweight.
Sharpness is good (like most Tessars) but also nothing spectacular and inferior to modern 50mm prime lenses.
Contrast is rather low, "russian colors" and as said it's slightly sensitive to flare.
Due low speed it's not as easy to make artsy bokeh shots as with Helios 44 etc., especially on crop sensors.
It's not bad, it's cheap, it very compact, it's interesting, but definately not a must have.

I have one, it cost me £3 and I think for what it is it is amazing.
It may look silly on a DSLR (Pentax K-x) but my version is really sharp and well worth the money.
Industar-50-2 3.5/5 0 complete with front lens cap. It was attached to a Zenit E, and as I already have one of those I didn't really want another one. The man on the stall said if I want just the lens, take it off and give me £3 ($4.67) I didn't refuse or haggle any more on that one and I thanked him for being so kind and generous:
The Industar is extremely sharp for such small lens and I am extremely impressed with it:
You can check our my crazy bargains here: http://forum.mflenses.com/i-should-stop-buying-possibly-yashica-yasinon-d-mount-t58302.html
I have yet to try it on my Pentax Q, but I will get around to doing that. |

I think the adapter to mount it on a Q might be bigger than the lens itself.
I have one coming to me soon, along with a Helios 44M in a trade. A Pentax M 50 f2 already feels tiny on the K-5, can't imagine what the Industar will be like. |

It does look silly on a modern(ish) SLR
Mine too is plenty sharp enough. |

Do you use catch in focus with that 50-2? I believe the K10D is one that requires shorting the contacts for CIF to work. |

+1 incredible sharp is quiet funny, somebody didn't tell truth to you. No incredible sharp cheap lens.
