This time I review Industar 50-2 50mm F3.5.
Industar 50-2 50mm f / 3.5 is a Russian lens and a very small pancake lens. Nevertheless, the image is sharp.
I first learned about the lens structure of the Tesser type.
Industar 50-2 50mm F3.5 is a Russian lens with Tesser-type lens configuration
This Industar 50-2 50mm F3.5 lens configuration is a Tesser type. As a result, a sharp image is achieved.
“Tesser” is the name of Carl Zeiss lens. It seems that the lens configuration has become widespread in order for the lens “Tesser” to achieve a very sharp image.
Industar 61 I reviewed earlier is a “Tesser-type” lens as well. The name “Industar” seems to be attached to the Tesser-type Russian vintage lens.
