A compact and lightweight standard lens inspired by the Zeiss Tessar design, the Industar-50-2 is known for its simple construction, sharp rendering, and surprisingly good contrast. Built entirely from metal, it’s a durable and characterful lens that pairs perfectly with vintage 35mm SLRs or adapted digital bodies.

Focusing is smooth with a long throw for precise control, and the aperture is manually adjustable from f/3.5 to f/16 using a dual-ring system. Despite its small size, image quality is crisp with classic Tessar micro-contrast and clean colour rendition.
