What's the cheapest decent LTM light 50ish with decent quality?
Maybe the Industar 55mm I-61 L/D.
14.99 + 20.00 shipping from Ukraine. Got it last week and was a bit disappointed by loose and inconsistent focus ring. But 30 minutes with Matt Denton's tutorial on the relube--which they all seem to need, and I have a very nice daylight portrait lens that weighs only 129 grams. It's now tight and smooth.

Though not as sharp as the elmar 50 2.8, according to rockwell, it seems pretty sharp at F8 to me. I'll post up some pics when I get a chance. _________________ Making MFlenses safe for the letter *L* |

It is a very nice lens indeed. The only shortcomming is the relatively high minimum focussing distance, which is ~1m. _________________ :::[ f o t o m a c h i . M X ]:::

Hi everybody!
I can explain name of the lens.
You can find:
Industar 61 L/D. "D" means "dalnomerniy", what translates from Russian as "for rangefinder". Flange focal distance = 28,8mm.
Industar 61 L/Z. "Z" means "zerkalniy", what translates from russian as "for mirror". Flange focal distance = 45,2mm. _________________ List of my photoequipment |
