50 mm, f/2.8, M39 (LTM) mount lens,

Very good condition. Glass has tiny cleaning microscratches. Inside there are microspecks of microdust and a dot (maybe dirt, maybe fungus, I can't define). Aperture ring rotates properly and has a backlash. Focus ring rotates a bit not uniformly and has a backlash. Body has signs of age. Filter carving is damaged.
Camera "FED-2" is not included and shown as an example of mount.
This is a normal lens with anti-reflection coating for rangefinders. Lens was default for camera "FED". It is the only version of this lens (with the letter "M"). Simple "Industar-26" remained experimental.
Lens was produced since 1954 for M39 mount at "FED" plant in Kharkiv. Also a small lot of this lens for SLR camera was made at KMZ (Krasnogorsk). Variant for enlarger was known as "Industar-26M-U".
