Do you have infinity focus with this one?
Any vignetting there?

I have pretty similar looking Industar only with Lanthanum but never tried on Pentax, just on my m4/3 and I really liked the lens for portraiture I guess that I have to invest in M39 to M42 ring and find out.

I like the results you getting.

Thanks for the kind words.
No, can't get infinity focus - on the Pentax, only good for close work really.
I haven't cropped those images in any way, and I don't see any vignetting.
I have read that there are different versions of the Industar 61, but I don't know which is which or how they are different.
This one is OK though
OH

Mine is also very good, excellent on m4/3 where I have infinity focus and was thinking that yours is the one with longer register distance but I guess this is also like mine Leica LTM version. I like to have the same one but in regular M42 but I do not know if they have same optical performance.

Nice results you got!

I do like the Industar lenses for flower photos,as you have shown. I have the same one as yours , same styling but its serial starts with 69*****. I use mine on the Pentax K-01...can you get infinity with this lens on a mirrorless Pentax?

Industar 61 L/D for LTM, Industar 61 L/Z for reflex in M42 mount. the L/Z looks like a little Volna-9 : http://t.hacquard.free.fr/site1/industar_61.html

The 'Panda' version as it seems it's been nicknamed.

Panda sounds cute - I like it.
My lens is not the standard 6 blade iris that is mentioned in Wiki.
It has 9 blades - unfortunately they are swimming in grease.
At least I know that they won't go rusty Very Happy

I have rather the ordinary one with 6 blades...

Not ordinary.
Isn't that the (slightly radioactive) Lanthanum version.
In very good condition too
OH

Yes, it is Lanthanum version and yes, condition of the lens is almost like new. Purchased from Ukraine from seller who was a photographer and was the first owner of the lens. He said it was in immaculate condition and it was. Pretty happy with it and when I compared with Super-Takumar 50mm 1.4 apart from slightly cooler color rendering was just a bit less sharp but you really need to pixel peep at 200% or higher to see the difference.

Oldhand version is the early version, from 1963. It's not written L/D, but maybe they already used lanthanum in glasses.

RAART's version is late version, regarding to FED logo, I think from end of 70's or 80's.

Thank you Pierre.
Is there a way of telling from the lens, when it was made?
Just curious
OH

With FED, it's hard. Untill the Industar-61 (like for I-26m), it's quite unpredicable. But I heard that when I-61 came up, they followed the usual numbering (like KMZ). I'm not sure about that.

So both my lens and RAART's version are made by FED, just with different logos.
I have read that Industar 61 was made by FED and LZOS(Lutkarino).
Did any other factory produce them?
OH

LZOS (litkarino) produced the M42 version for Zenit, FED the LTM version for FED camera.
KMZ produced a preserie of the Industar-26m (the father of the Industar-61), but that's all, as far as I know.

There is on the web somewhere a PDF file where is stated resolution of this lens (I wrote down just the resolution and not the link unfortunately) and it is:
Center 42 – 45
Edge 28 - 30 lines/mm

That's all info that I have on this lens Very Happy

This is a Lutkarino LZOS produced lens. Totally different looking one:
