This is probably the most popular lens from vast "Industar" family. I-61 is a lens with medium lens speed and multilayered anti-reflection coating. Extraheavy lanthanum crown glass "STK-6" is used. Authors of the lens - USSR academician G.Slusarev and V.Sokolova. Optical resolution of this four-lenses system is equal to six-lenses "Helios-81".

This lens was made for rangefinder "FED" and SLR "Zenit" in 1971-90 at three plants: KMZ (Krasnogorsk), FED (Kharkiv), LZOS (Lytkarino) in many different variants.

The lens offered is for SLR camera with M42 mount. Aperture blades are darkened. Hole has a famous "star" which allows to get a typical bokeh for that lens. Used very often for macro.
Lens is very sharp, it's nickname is "Eagle eye". 
This lens was produced with multilayered anti-reflection coating (letters "MC" in the name) or without. 
For cropped Nikon it will have focal distance 75mm, for cropped Canon 80mm.
