From the editor
The lens was produced both by the Arsenal Plant (Kiev, USSR) and Vega Plant (Uman, USSR).
The following versions were available:
- МИР-26В 3.5/45 - with the Hasselblad M60x6 screw mount (a predecessor of the Hasselblad V bayonet mount);
- МИР-26 3.5/45 or МИР-26Б 3.5/45 or MIR-26B 3.5/45 (for export) - with the Pentacon Six bayonet mount.
One of the manufacturer's instructions lists a slightly different weight and size: 650g, ⌀86mm x 98mm.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the lens was sold under the names "ARSAT MC 1:3.5 45mm B" (with the Hasselblad M60x6 screw mount) and "ARSAT MC 1:3.5 45mm C" (with the Pentacon Six bayonet mount).
