Very rare Orion-15 28mm f/6 wide angle Lens
Very good, working condition. No scratches, no fungus, no mold.
The Russian Orion-15 is a high quality wide angle lens for the Leica type rangefinder cameras. It was released in 1956. It is a Soviet-made copy of Carl Zeiss Topogon.
It was produced in small quantities and is very uncommon now. The lens is very compact and its design does not require a lens shade. It is quite slow, but coated and produces sharp and contrasty images. This lens was mostly produced for LTM screw mount.

Orion-15 28 mm f/ 6 is an interchangeable wide-angle lens for rangefinder cameras.
The Orion-15 28 mm f/ 6 lens was characterized by high resolution and large depth of field.
It was recommended for panoramic shooting, shooting of multi-story buildings and structures facing a narrow street, for group shooting in a small room, etc.
In 1959, the lens was awarded a 2nd degree Diploma from the USSR Exhibition of Economic Achievements.
It is recommended to have Orion-15 in your arsenal if you are interested in photographing urban architecture and “street”. Don't let its darkness scare you - during the day you still have to close the aperture to f/8-f/11 and set it to 1/250" even with ISO 100 film.
