Your Premium Destination for Serviced Vintage Soviet Photography Equipment
Discover the beautiful rendering of classic analog photography with the legendary Soviet Industar-22 50mm f/3.5 lens! Modeled directly after the famous Carl Zeiss Tessar optical design (often called the "Eagle Eye"), this compact, solid-metal silver lens is celebrated for its incredible sharpness, rich micro-contrast, and beautiful retro character.
Whether you are a collector of classic Soviet rangefinder gear, a Leica enthusiast, or a modern digital mirrorless shooter looking for a unique, pocket-sized artistic lens, this fully serviced Industar-22 is a spectacular choice.
The "Eagle Eye" Tessar Formula: With its classic 4-element in 3-groups design, this lens delivers exceptional central sharpness, beautiful contrast, and a lovely, organic vintage aesthetic that modern digital lenses cannot replicate.
Classic LTM / M39 Rangefinder Mount: Features the standard Leica Thread Mount (M39 LTM). It works natively on classic Soviet rangefinder cameras (Zorki, FED) as well as legendary vintage Leica cameras.
Stunning Silver Aesthetics: The robust, vintage chrome-polished metal body looks incredibly stylish and adds an authentic mid-century vintage look to any camera setup.
This lens is in Excellent Cosmetic & Flawless Mechanical condition. It has been completely disassembled, cleaned, calibrated, and serviced in our specialized workshop:
Cosmetics: Excellent vintage condition. The silver barrel is clean and bright with only minor, normal signs of age and previous handling (please refer to our high-resolution photos).
Cleaned Glass: The optical elements have been carefully serviced. The glass is clean and clear. (As with any lens of this era, minor cleaning marks on the coating or microscopic dust particles may be present under close inspection, which have absolute zero impact on image quality).
Buttery-Smooth Mechanics: The original, dried-up Soviet grease has been completely cleaned out and replaced with high-quality modern lubricants. The focus mechanism and the aperture ring rotate smoothly with perfect, satisfying resistance.
Clean Aperture Blades: The aperture blades are clean, dry, and free of oily residue, ensuring perfect mechanical reliability.
This M39 LTM lens natively fits vintage rangefinder cameras such as Zorki, FED, and Leica. Additionally, it is incredibly easy to adapt to any modern digital mirrorless system—including Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Leica L, and Micro 4/3—using a standard, inexpensive M39-to-Mirrorless adapter. Due to its slim profile, it makes for a perfect, compact "pancake" lens on modern digital bodies!

Because of its age and history, the lens body may show minor, normal signs of previous use and cosmetic wear.The optical elements may have light cleaning marks (faint hairline wipes on the coating) or minor internal micro-dust particles. This is completely standard for lenses of this era and has absolutely zero impact on image quality, contrast, or final photo results.Rest assured, every lens in our shop has been professionally inspected, fully serviced, and thoroughly tested by our master technicians.
