I don't own an Industar-69 and I don't plan to buy one anytime soon but learning how to do this and listening to you teaching it was an absolute pleasure! Thank you so much and greetings from Portugal!
Thank you for sharing! One thing came to my mind... maybe it is even better to align the lens to infinity while attached to the camera before attaching the front cover to the lens again. This way the focus index might also be correctly aligned.
I did this and it works with awesome result. I had to sand down the inner rim of the front cover, by ca 1 mm, to get it to turn.
Its an awesome lens!
I read this on a forum and thought it would be useful to share here...
Depending on your M39 adapter, you might be able to remove the threaded aluminium part by loosening three grub screws. This would allow you remove the threaded part, and then file away the necessary 1.5mm by hand.
If you cut the back side of the aluminium ring, you could retain a nice finish at the front.
Yes, that's it. Your information is correct
Spasibo, ochen chiotkyje instrukciji. Pomoglo.
Very simple solution. It worked very well!
Much easier than I thought! Thank you very much sir!
Thank you for this tutorial. This was an absolute education. I'm 6 years late to this, but this helped me out immensely. I have a model that has an extremely stiff aperture ring. Are there any suggestions on cleaning and lubing? I have tried naphtha and it definitely loosens it up for a while, but at a certain point it hardens (especially in temperatures less than 23 degrees). Thanks for sharing your expertise.
NICE demo!
thanks for a nice video, i will follow you
all good tips are welcome..sincerely

I fixed the focus but the aperture ring is very stiff and difficult to turn. Do you have any suggestions to fix this problem
Thank you for the demonstration 👍
This lens works on fed cameras?
Or you need to make this adjustment for infinite focus too?
Thanks 👍
it won't work on fed
@RetroFotoHouse thank you, but because it doesn't cover the full frame film or the flange distance is different?
@@filmlovephotography flange is different, film format, no rangefinder coupler
Спасибо, Шотландия
Thanks! I've been meaning to do this.
Gracias.saludos desde Chile
ви молодці чуваки
Useful
very helpful thank you so miuch!
Thanks for sharing great video !
Thanks for watching!
If you would like the ability to focus closer is it possible to remove one of the pins so the optical element cam travel further? I noticed that when the element is almost screwed loosely at max, you can achieve a macro-photography level of zoom.
Good opening
Great tip! Thank you for sharing!!
А открутить шестигранником алюминиевый вкладыш с резьбой на переходнике нельзя разве? Там вроде бы есть зазор в пару миллиметров. И утопить вкладыш и объектив - он ведь меньше диаметром?
Bought this lens today in mint condition for about 25$ included adapter and did all the steps in the tutorial and still the lens not focusing to infinity! I will search for aluminum cutting machine somewhere to cut a little from the adapter. Thanks for the advice
Yes, often it is necessary to cut a ring inside an adapter
Thanks!
Great ❤️👍🙏
Love my Industar-61 Vintage M39 lense with my mft... any focal reducers available?
Thanks for the excellent video. Any idea how to adapt this for a Panasonic Lumix G7?
via simple m39- m4/3 adapter
So this lens is for a crop sensor? I purchased it thinking I could used it on a full-frame camera but I'm getting a vignette effect, specially when I start closing the aperture, which I thought had to do with my adapter. Bummer! 😒
only for crop
@@RetroFotoHouse Thank you for reply and posting video. At least getting infinity now.
Hi Roman. Im a bit confused. You said the lens gives 28mm focal length on crop sensors. Does that mean this lens is not a true 28mm lens? I know it has no rangefinder coupling, but if it is a true 28mm lens and with adjustment for infinity, could I zone focus this lens on a leica iif with a 28mm external viewfinder?
this lens is from half frame camera. And it was designed to cover smaller area. It wont work onto leicas, will show strong vignetting.
Retro Foto House so it’s 28mm with no crop factor? can you make a video about this?
Hi there, I am so grateful for your videos, thank you. I have one of these lenses which I bought cheap and one of the small screws is missing, do you know where I can buy the screws. Best wishes from Scotland.
Hi! Well, i know only one solution-to find anonther lens in for parts or repair condition and get missing screws from it
@@RetroFotoHouse Yes I was thinking that might be the solution. Thank you so much for your reply
how can i put this lens to a canon t6 camera?
Unfortunatlely it will work onto mirrorless cameras only
Can you PLEASE sell these ready to go for infinity focus (and cleaned and regreased) for fuji mount?
I would like to, but i do not have it in stock
Hello Retro Foto House, Do you sell the modified ring, with 1.5mm removed, for infinity focus on the Industar-69? I bought an I-69 with modified ring from a dealer a few years ago. It was claimed that it gave infinity focus with the focus & aperture scale working properly. It does not focus further than a couple of metres & the adapter ring has been glued to the lens making further modification difficult. Fortunately I have another three of these lenses. I use one on an unmodified mount with an 8mm extension tube. It makes a great 'pocket macro' lens. However, I would like to use one of my I-69s as a standard pancake lens on my Sony a6000. Unfortunately I do not have access to a lathe so unless I can buy a modified ring I will have to carefully grind an adapter ring down with emery paper glued to some plate glass. Or something like that... Thank you for your time & consideration, fm.
P.S. I had a look on your eBay store under "Lens adapters, mounts & tubes" but could not find these rings there. BTW, the link that you posted (9 months ago) above the comments section is no longer recognised by eBay.
Hi! No, i don't sell those.
@@RetroFotoHouse Okay, thanks for the quick reply. Looks like it is time for the plate glass, emery paper & some elbow grease! ;-)
hi, nice video, I modified two industar, but instead of cutting the adapter, y cut a little ring on the helicoid, you can see the photos here facebook.com/pg/AdaptoCam/photos/?tab=album&album_id=676964705821786
There is in spanish, but I think you will unerstand, Cheers!
If mounted on a Zorki 4K, does this lens will give a 28mm wide angle?
it will not work on zorki, it is not RF coupled
Can you put that lens on a FED/Zorki cameras? I have seen a topic about it on Flickr and it seems like the image produced is almost a circle, which in my opinion could be a nice lomographic touch to the photos. But since the lens is made for the Chaika it would not be able to focus to infinity.
Could you pls make a video about adapting it for old russian rangefinders (if it's even possible)
Thank you!
It is not possible, because lens is not rangefinder coupled
Yes you can. You just need an external rangefinder for 28mm lens attached to the flash shoe
Is it possible to adapt that lens on dalr?
no, it fits only mirrorless
@@RetroFotoHouse thank you
When will it be available again? I'd like to speedboost this lens for the GH5 with a Viltrox EF-M2. Have you ever tried something like this? Industar 28mm ------ M39 to EF adapter ------ Viltrox EF-Micro4/3 speedbooster ------ to the GH5...
Hi! I think it will not work with speedboster, because this is not a fullframe lens
@@RetroFotoHouse Isn't it a 35mm lens? FullFrame is the same as 35mm...
Astral'o Pithecus no, it isn’t. This is half frame lens, on full frame sensor it will have vignetting
@@RetroFotoHouse oh, I thought all M42 and M39 lenses were made for 35mm film :/
Thanks anyway
Love your videos and your EBay account.Do you repair cameras if sent to you ?
Hi! No, i don't. i can repair only lenses.
Can this lens focus to infinity on dslrs? I just bought one and I’d like to know whether I need to modify the lens.
Thanks in advance.
you need to modify it
it won't work onto dslrs, unfortunately....
Can you use this lens on a zorki 4 rangefinder camera or make it to work on?
No, because it is not rangefinder coupled
В этом нет смысла! У этого объектива невыразительная картинка, 5 лепестков диафрагмы не дают красивого боке. Жёсткий рисунок, и нужно вспомнить, что это стекло от полуформатной камеры с другим рабочим отрезком. На Зоркий 4, почти копию немецкой Лейки, мой любимый фотоаппарат, идут объективы - Юпитер 8, шикарный зоннар, скопирован с цейссовского Зоннара! Необыкновенно рисует! Картинка очаровательна! К Зоркому идёт Индустар 50, репортажник с большой резкостью и малой глубиной резкости. И подходит Индустар 61. Очень хороший, качественный репортажник. Индустар - это очень качественно скопированный Цейссовский Тессар. Эти технологии достались Советскому Союзу после войны по репарациям. Я хочу сказать, что камера Зоркий 4, очень хороша до сих пор! Я люблю эту камеру, и эти три объектива решают все мои желания и предпочтения. Особенно люблю Зоннар Юпитер 8! Это восхитительное стекло!!!
Will this lens work just fine on a fed or zorki camera ?
no it wont, it is not RF coupled
I just bought two of these lenses and only one could be adjusted/modified to infinity without a dremel or a lathe. I tested both with my BMPCC original 1080 camera and to be honest they sucks both of them even the one adjusted to infinity. So unless you want really soft footage stay away from this lens.
Can you make this work on EOS M as well?
yes i can
What size screwdriver?
Probably a P000. You can find a "jewelers" screwdriver set on Amazon for like 3.99 with prime shipping.
