Hey, want to buy a re-branded Industar-69 and Jupiter-9 for only $650.00 US? Be the only kid on your block to own one? Well then check this out...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-LENSES-TELOR-28mm-f2-0-TELOR-85mm-f2-0-DALLMEYER-ZEISS-MEYER-PLASMAT-LEICA-/322452088408?hash=item4b13a46658:g:cpwAAOSwSlBYudTF
Isn't it funny that the Telor 28mm glass has the same optical peculiarities as the original Industar-69 even though it is only using the I-69 body for the helical? Or am I missing something here? _________________ Steve

Expect a lot more of this sort of thing from Ukraine because the country has been destroyed by a corrupt criminal government and the economy is in ruins, people will look for any way they can to try to make ends meet.

Well, rare estern europe variant of Jupiter-9 and (maybe) Industar-69 (but this one is 28mm/2, not 2.8, so I'm not sure it is same as I-69). Price is naturely excessive, but idea to use soviet body to adapt those lenses is not that stupid IMHO. Looks like I "know" this seller, I saw most of his lenses for sale in Ukraine (so knowing the price he bought them, I can tell you he wants A LOT of profit).
Also Ukrainian sellers are usualy not as poor as you may think (good profits). _________________ Pierre

You obviously have more experience with this seller than I could ever hope to have. I just can't see how the buyer is expected to believe that the glass for this rare 28mm shares the same idiosyncracies as the Chaika specific I-69, i.e. a half frame image circle and a unique back-flange distance while using a 'standard' M39 thread mount.
Was there ever a TELOR lens brand? Why should their lenses be converted to a different body? Was their glass that good that it was worth the effort to convert them at all?
I don't see anything in this sales pitch that even hints that the lenses might be worth paying premium prices for. I am no expert but this entire auction screams SCAM!!! to me. _________________ Steve

It's hard to tell if it's had a transplant or just some cosmetic mods, having transplanted the 40/2.5 from the Rollie XF 35 into an Industar 50 m39 SLR version, I can tell you anything is possible.
I'm not convinced one way or another, I would need more pictures of the lens to see if the optics are different, should be super easy to tell them apart because the aperture size difference would be obvious.
Edit: Looking again at the pictures, the I69 definitely has a larger aperture than stock, and the rear looks nothing like an I69.

Unfortunately, recent increase in interest (and prices) of film gear led to ebay being overrun by insane offers. Does your offer really beat this? Or this? |

Er, no. Ukraine has had a series of corrupt and criminal governments for over 25 years, no denying that. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

(I say looks to be since the source is only an owner of this lens, but this owner is well known for beeing a collectionner and having good knowledges).
Again, I don't see why this auction should be considered as scam, it's just super high price (he will never sell it, well, he never sold anything), but lenses are real. _________________ Pierre

One very common type is Kiev Automat lenses hacked up into M39 or M42 mounts, these were done in Soviet times, long before ebay existed. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

Yes, we often see such conversion, usualy not good. But some other works from this old era are very well done (certainly done on the corner of the table at the plant). _________________ Pierre

Yes, you see a lot of 'Uncle Ivan took the hacksaw and hammer to it on the kitchen table' type jobs, but as you say, also some skillful stuff clearly done in a machine shop with a lathe and precision.
In a communist economy where consumer goods were often at a premium, people had to make what they had work.
Also, a cultural difference comes into play, in the west, we define quality as not breaking, whereas in Russia, they see quality as being easy to repair when it does break. _________________ I don't care who designed it, who made it or what country it comes from - I just enjoy using it! |

It looks a better deal than several of his earlier listings where he had bids starting from $0.99 but included a $400 postage charge!
Sounds almost like he want's to deliver in person & have the option of making a holiday of it |
