Hello. I decided to sell some of my soviet lens. Most of them require repair, or can be used as donors for others.

Below is description of all of them, as accurate as it can be.

3 pcs. MIR-1A. While glass is in good shape (just they're too dirty), aluminum casing has some strange damage - it has etches like some drops of acid hit the aluminum at various points and etched it. Aperture blades are intact and work, focus ring is stuck and needs re-oiling. One or two of them has "brussels grand prix" text on them Please note that these lens have some kind of flange for mounting with 3 screw holes in it. As I was told, all 3 were used in a RGB TV camera, with 3 separate sensors.

4 pcs. of Vega-9 lenses. One of them had aperture stuck and in really bad shape. Other 3 are in relatively good shape, glass is clean, aperture is working. Focus ring is tight, but manageable.

A kind of wide angle lens, marked as HT1-0.5X, glass is ok, case is a bit in rough shape. Seems to be wide angle adapter to some 8mm camera?

Industar 23U magnifier lens, dial is missing pin, so aperture can't be controlled, glass is ok

Industar 55U magnifier lens. It had aperture control ring stripped, so I took it apart to fix it, but was too lasy (the pin head was broken). I have all screws and parts in a separate bag. Glass is clean

Vega-7 2/20 lens. Export version, in very good shape.

"Carl Zeiss West Germany f 300 T*" Lens. As I was told, it was a front (replaceable) element of stereoscopical neirosurgical microscope. In good shape. Appears to be doublet with anti glare coating. Provides medium (about 1.2X) magnification when placed in front of smartphone lens.

The small lens marked as 18/1.4 with focusing dial. Was removed from 8mm projector. In a good shape.

The "camera" part of MFN-1 microscope photography attachment. Glass is clean, shutter button works, has definite "click" sound, but either shutter blades move too fast, so I can't see them, or they just are stuck and only move slightly. I haven't pushed them by hand, to avoid damage.

I want $200 for all these pictured + shipping. Please note, due to weight, shipping will be in range of $15-$75 depending on your location. Will be sent from Republic of Georgia with tracking number. Payment via PayPal.

Ask if you need more information or photos.
