additional information:
Very little is known about this particular lens. This lens seems to be a macro lens derived from standard Planar design. It has a preset aperture similar to that of Helios 44-2 and the Pentacon 30mm f3.5. The front element is deeply berried into the barrel like the Minolta AF macros. Max magnification ratio is 1:2. LZOS (Lytkarino Optical Glass Factory) seems to have made all copies of this lens. The apertures have a peculiar shape, they are star-shaped until f11 when they become hexagonal, and becomes round at f16.
