Vintage modified lenses

[Krisgage]

Hello everyone !

Here are some photos of my Vintage lenses taken with Russian Industar-22 50mm f/3.5, modified to an enlarger form, in LTM or M39 mount. This lens originally is for rangefinder camera in collapsible barrel form looking like the Leica Elmar 50mm f/3.5.

Since I mention about the Industar I96U 50mm f/3.5 earlier, I put it up first. This enlarger lens is for UPA-510. The UPA-510,is a portable photographic enlarger focused manually and automatically, is a means for the projection enlargement on the screen of negative formats of 24x36 and 18x~4mm available on the 35-mm movie film, and of negative formats of 10 to l4mm on the 16mm movie film.

Here is another interesting lens. E Krauss Paris 75mm f/3.5 Zeiss Tessar.

E. Krauss was a French camera and lens maker. It had family relationships with the German G. A. Krauss company, and it had a license to produce lens types of Carl Zeiss. In this case of this lens, it was of Zeiss Tessar, thus the inscription on the name ring. I believe this lens was made for plate cameras and what we would today call medium-format (6x6, 6x7, 6x9 cm). The lens was taken out and mount on a crudely machined helicoid and lens body.

Last lens to share over here,

Zeiss Ikon A-G Dresden

Carl Zeiss Jena Nr. 1647186 Triotar 1:3,5 f= 5cm

I asked my friend, Sevo, from Germany, about this lens. Here is what he told me,

" The lens is from about 1925, which would match the mount. By type, that is a common twenties focusing mount, affordable version, as I'd expect it on a "prosumer" grade SLR. However, SLRs back then were at least 6x9cm, with a long mirror, so that they fit nothing shorter than about 120mm - so that that lens must be from sth. else.

I am not aware of an affordable 35mm camera of that vintage with such a crude focusing mechanism, and a 50mm Triotar would not cover 4x6.5cm and other pre 35mm small formats. Might be a lower grade (amateur or industrial) cine lens - the focal length is right, and these cameras were wooden with flange mounted lenses back then... "

Here is one shot taken with E Krauss Paris 75mm f/3.5 Zeiss Tessar. After I unscrew one of the screw locking the helicoid, now it can achieve infinity on my D90.
