It is not a bad lens and it is certainly a novelty or just a handy thing to put in your pocket. It is a Tessar design so say no more. I would certainly rather have and use it than some of the other cheap 50mm lenses.
I used mine the other day for some low sun high contrast shots and results were OK. It is also fairly good with a 10/12mm tube, again a pocket close up lens.
They are fairly common on boot sales and charity shops so worth have for a couple of pounds.

I paid £6 for the Industar a 30mm Lydith and a Zenit camera. Gave the camera away and have now put the Lydith right at the back of the cupboard so I'm not tempted to waste any more shots with it.

why? what's wrong with the Lydith? from the sample i've seen looks like a great portrait lens, smooth and low contrast

Industar-50-2 is a very good lens and very small

I second that question! My version, re-branded as pentacon, is a wonderful lens.

I'm not really convinced by the results of my I50-2. It doesn't seem to match up to the old silver M39 I50 I had years ago. Has anyone else compared them?
