This Industar 61 came as a freebie with a homemade Contax-NEX adapter from Russia. Has anyone ever seen one before? Which Kiev did it go with?

That would fit a Kiev 4 and other Kiev rangefinders, and I presume any old Contax rangefinder.

There has never been such a lens. What has been done is combining elements from two lenses into one:

Oh, now it makes sense why I've never seen a kiev I61 before.

I wonder how it performs. Have you had a go with it?

When / if the sun comes back out in Pittsburgh, I'll shoot off a couple of frames and post the results - I'm curious myself how it will work.
