Click here to see on Ebay
I just thought this was interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a black Industar 50. It is always 50-2. Maybe I'm just misremembering (or going crazy - probably the more likely). Since it's on a zenit 3m (maybe 3) it must be m39.

Oh, just great. Thanks a lot.
I just ordered a silver Industar 50 and a black Industar 50-2 from GrizzlyBear and thought "Great, that completes my Industar 50 collection".
And now you show me this??????
Aieeeee.

Always happy to make things more complicated. Hell, I would have thought that was the complete set too, at least for SLRs.
I'd be interested in seeing how you like the 50 compared to the 50-2. I know some in this forum prefer the former, though a side-by-side comparison hasn't come up. |

They are not that uncommon. There's a very long thread on this lens somewhere on the forum. If you are desparate to complete your collection
this one is available.

Thanks for the offer!! I was actually half joking about the collection. The two I'm waiting for, after all, will be my first Industars... you know, after all the raves I've been hearing about them here... My intention was to see which I liked better (and seeing if the M39 version actually gives me Inf) and selling off the other one.
However, if I do like them a lot, I'll probably keep both (it won't be hard to do so, they're so cheap) and will likely take you up on your offer, should you still have it available. Thanks again!

I am just curious why some people seem to have loads of lenses of the same focal length. Do you guys use them all? I think once I found one or two favourites the rest would languish unused. |

Well, I use different lenses of the same focal lenght in different situations.
For example, I use the Industar 50/3.5 for macro, and the Zuiko 50/1.8 for other pictures.
Other example, I have a Nikkor 20/3.5 and use it for nature photos, and the Arsat 20/2.8 for city photos, because it seems to me that the Nikkor performs well in landascapes and the Arsat when shooting buildings, roads and people. |

Because some of us are crazy? 
What's fun for me now is to see the different characteristics between the different lense, and the easiest way to compare between different optics is when you have the same/similar focal lengths. And 50~58mm primes are the most abundant, and consequently the cheapest focal lengths to get all crazy. I couldn't do something similar with, e.g., 80-90mm, I'd go broke after my first lens (Planar)
