Manufacturer description

The "ИНДУСТАР-61М" is a standard lens for SLR cameras with a frame size of 24x36 mm. Thanks to the use of lanthanum optics, it has a high resolving power over the entire field of the frame with a large aperture.

The lens provides correct color reproduction when shooting on color reversible film of the "Орво-Колор" type.

It is used for a wide variety of shooting types.

Due to the "jumping" diaphragm, it ensures fast shooting when working with a camera of the "Зенит-7" type (or foreign cameras with an M42x1 thread, such as "Praktica", "Asahi Pentax", etc.).

It can also work on a simpler camera such as "Зенит-3М", "Зенит-Е", while the diaphragm mechanism works as a mechanism for pre-setting the diaphragm.

From the editor

A rare standard lens that was produced in small batches by the Krasnogorsk Mechanical Plant (USSR) from 1971. One of the first Soviet lenses with automatic diaphragm, as indicated by the letter "М" in the lens name. The Industar-61M had every chance of becoming as popular as the Helios-44M, but for unknown reasons the plant management did not promote this lens for other camera models. According to rough estimates, no more than 500 lenses were produced in total.

The front element is so deeply recessed into the lens barrel that this lens does not require a separate lens hood in most situations. However, when shooting against the light, due to the lack of multi-layer anti-reflective coatings, rainbow flare will often appear in the image.
