Thanks everybody.

I also found additional info from google search. I'm relieved that

it's a pfoof of the vintage lens using high quality rare earth

material.

I went to a camera repair store to pick up my Summitar and Industar-

22. I saw some dust inside and asked the repair person. He said

these were bubbles inside the glasses. He said that old lenses such

as Summitar 50/2 have bubbles inside the glasses.

Does anybody have the same experience?

Marc,

Where did you get the filter?

Sorry, I felt like (or wished) I was in Paris, but of course, it was

the Washington Square!

In such a condition, do I need a filter? Which one? 80A? B+W?

Heliopan?

Bob A.,

To be honest, I was sleeping during Statistics classes. Sorry, I

don't remember anything.

Bob A.,

Do not turn the tables! Soviet Lens' history is different from

German lens' or Japanese lens'. As many Soviet lens users say from

their own experience, certain era of Soviet lens seems better made

than others. To dismis this subject as just an "urban myth" is

ignorant and misinformed.

I hear a lot of stories on Soviet Lens. Many say that 1950's are the

best and 1980's are good too. Others say older the lens, it's

riskier due to unknown repair history. Any experience on Soviet

lens?
