Modern camera- Ancient lens

[Peeb]

Picked up a very old, very beat-up USSR lens on ebay for $21.50. It's the Industar 50mm lens (f/3.5). Very quirky and fun. There is no coating on the front element, so you get some interesting effects when you point directly at strong light sources. Below is just a sconce light, but when filtered thru the old soviet glass, it somehow becomes art, to my eyes. Enjoy.

It's definitely a warm scene, with the light throwing a nice fuzzy glow. I like it!

Looks like one of those pro mist filters

… possibly a good lens for videos?

Can't beat a good bargain. Looks to be doing a job too.

It's a nice shot, nice effect. I have an old Zhenit camera, wonder what type of mount the lens is?
