Showcase Industar 50f3.5

EP5 with Industar 50f3.5 Elmar

The out of focus flowers look a bit strange, but the rose and buds just "pop" out almost like a FF camera. This is an awesome lens

Nice and sharp : is this the collapsible one which you need to prevent collapsing for sensor safety?

 

[silver92b]

This is the collapsible lens, but it does not seem to hit the sensor at all. it does hit the body of the camera where the contacts are :tongue:

A £7.50 eBay purchase, this tiny little lens seems pretty sharp, but on my one the focus ring turns with uneven resistance.

the first Industar-50-2 (body) was sacrificed for the making of the "Indunon 38mm" (link here: Frankenlens Indunon 38mm f2.8 )
But I saw potential in that little lens so I got another one in like-new conditions from Russia for $12
Comparing it to my other budget 50mm it's pretty good wide open but probably at same level of a f2.8 lens stopped to f3.5 (which is wide open for the Industar)
Here are some samples with respective f-stops, no editing to really show what the lens can/can't do
