m42dave Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) I wonder if the Tessar was made for the Paxette? Photos above. Alan, I'm pretty sure your Tessar is for the Paxette. It looks like the one in the link I posted earlier in this thread, and the same as a recent eBay listing. The Industar-50 is definitely the SLR version, probably taking 33mm filters. The first two digits of the serial number would indicate year of manufacture. In addition to the early Zenits mentioned, the KMZ Start and Kiev 10/15 could also use these M39 lenses with dedicated adapters.

steve_gallimore1 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 As above, Industar is for a Zenit SLR, probably an early Zenit E or B/V, before they switched to M42 (earlier cameras had bare aluminium lenses, not black). As to the Tessar, do you have access to a digital mirrorless camera? A cheap LTM to mirrorless adaptor will tell all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
