Most impressive lens and the results are worth way more than the 50 bucks I paid. The lens is sharp but not "hard" like modern LTM lenses. However use the clamp on Elmar lens hood with it to avoid flare. Ray "Stanislaw B.A. Stawowy" wrote: > > Industar 22 3.5/50 - Elmar copy? At least Tessar > derivative.
