Question about LZOS lens

[Albert]

Hi All,

Today i bought 2 Zorki-4 camera's. One had a industar 50mm 3,5 lens which is common, but the other one has a LZOS 50mm 3,5 lens which i do not know. I search in the Princelle-book and i also searched already on the internet but i can't find anything about this lens. Does somebody what kind of lens this is? Obvious it is nog regular found on a camera. It has no focus-ring only a aparature-ring (3,5 - 11). I have attached a foto of the lens.

Greetings and thanks for some answers.

LZOS is a factory if I'm right, Lytkarino Optical Glass factory. They produced several lenses esp. the J-12. The markings on your lens reads I50 OU, like Industar-50 probably... but it looks like an enlarger lens to me 🙂

I agree with darkavenger. Looks like an enlarger lens to me, too.

The lens is from a UPA suitcase enlarger, which I could never get even illumination from, no matter which bulb I used. It sat in my garage for many years till the Mrs. gave me orders to get rid of all my junk in the garage, so I threw the whole thing in the skip , going to the dump. no regrets.
