Today this little "three-element-lens" has arrived - that waqs very quick. The seller must have sent it before the money was booked. Excellent!

It is in very nice condition, not mint, but really nice. Glass is clean (just some very little cleaning marks on the rear lens) and aperture and focus work smoothly.

I plan to shoot with it on Sunday.

Here are some shots of the lens:

It is quite small...

(From the left:) Industar-50 3.5/5cm | Instar-50-2 3.5/50 | Meritar 2.9/50 | Helios-44-2 2/58

... but it looks nice.



Even at a DSLR:

Very nice aesthetic. The inside black with the alum external give a special sharm.
About the rendition, is a triplet and, for this, may be so-so at the borders and specially at 2,9 to 5,6. At F/8 and 11 the depth of field inherent improvement the image at corners, and the centerwill be sharp.
This is the "normal" rendition for the triplets (as domiplan-meyer- and pantar-zeiss)
The tessar design, with one element more, improved the borders.
Good luck.
