I just got my M39-EF adapter from Hong Kong and thought i'd try out my Industar-26M. I had every intention of using it only as a macro lens, at least until i pick up an FED-2 or another M39 rangefinder.
On to the test photos! All were shot at f/2.8, shutter speed 1/60, and ISO 250 on the 7D.
I-26M set at Infinity Focus
I-26M set at <1 meter (minimum focusing distance)
And for the sake of comparison:
Super-Takumar 1.4/50 at 0.45 meters (minimum focusing distance)
Helios 44 at <0.5 meters (minimum focusing distance)
Focal 2.8/28 at <1 foot (minimum focusing distance)
I know I went a little overboard with the comparison shots, but I couldn't help myself. Actual shots (as in "not-test-shots") to come soon!

i havent tested out the I-26m in a "real world" application yet, but i plan on doing that tomorrow (i'll post the pictures in this thread when i do). so far it seems to be as you have said: not terrible, not fantastic". the comparison was more to show just how close i could get with it as macro lens compared to how close i could get with any of my other lenses. _________________ Stills: SLR: Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP, DSLR: Canon EOS Rebel XTi, Canon EOS 7D

The close up shots look soft, which matches my experience of trying a Jupiter-8 on an SLR. _________________ http://www.ipernity.com/home/2419272

I recently purchased an LTM adapter for MFT and I tested an Industar 26M on my E-PL2. It is very competent. The following shots are taken at f/2.8 - maybe a bit stopped down, as I may have accidentally bumped the aperture ring a bit:

As with all Soviet lenses there appears to be a great deal of sample variation. The images I have had from my FED2+Industar-26m have always surprised me. Have a look at my flickr photo stream or postings in the BW gallery here.

I found them to perform very consistently. I have more than one sample for several models and I didn't notice any variation other than that introduced by previous mishandling. In one case, a lens had been disassembled and reassembled incorrectly - but optically it was as good as new. It's about damage, not sample variation.
I added you as a contact on flickr. |

I recently aquired this lens, too. It's a later model without aperture knob and a round focusing ring. There are no signs of my copy ever being used and it looks beautiful. Apart from some dust particles, the glass looks pristine. However, I was extremely dissapointed when I took it out for a walk on my Olympus E-PM1. It's not only unsharp, but completely useless for taking photographs. Examples are below, I just couldn't take more than a few photos. Is it just a bad copy or could it be a result of some kind of damage?
Edit. Okay, I wasted my time to write this post and now this forum doesn't show any links. Forget about it.

That is just because it is your first post. It is a measure against spam. As soon as you make a second one your pictures can be posted and seen as from everyone else!
So welcome here and do another try please.
