Industar-61 L/D 55mm f/2.8 lens is an interesting lens. What I like the most about the lens firstly is it's small size. It looks very cute on my Olympus M/3. I am sucker for small sized lens since they are handy for me. Secondly, It's a sharp little Russian lens.
What I may not like is the inconsistent colour cast the lens gives at differing light condition. It's a handy little lens for everyday use for subjects you don't want to be very close to and be somewhat discreet.
Since it's a Russian lens, there are inconsistencies in the models as well. I've got few collections of Industar-61 for sale on my ebay account (lilac_may). I got them in lot from Ukraine. I personally serviced them for stiff focus and cleaned any remaining fungus and dust from the inner glass. I've seen that few of the lenses are sharper than others and few have more blueish cast than others.
On Olympus M4/3 it becomes 110mm telephoto lens.
Since I am in a remote place called Longding as mentioned in my earlier posts, my photographic events may look somewhat "has already been done and seen". Please excuse me for this. In coming days, I promise to share more variable sceneries.
