COLLECTORS / USER NOTES
The Industar‑22 is one of the most recognisable early Soviet collapsible lenses, modelled closely on pre‑war Tessar designs. Minor rear‑element cleaning marks are common on lenses of this age and typically have minimal practical impact. Very good examples remain desirable among collectors and digital shooters seeking a compact, characterful vintage optic.
