210494 GOI Rekord-1 1/37 mm %u20ac2.000OB381 prototypeno. 7645, 1970s, condition A/B %u20ac 4.000 %u2013 5.000An extremely rare Soviet prototype lens, the GOI Rekord-1 1/37%u2009mm,produced only in a few experimental samples by the State Optical Institute (GOI) and never released for regular production. It is afast wide-angle lens notable for its f/1 aperture and absence ofdiaphragm. The offered example is in excellent condition, with verygood, coated optics. It comes with original caps and a metal keeper.495 GOI f. FED / VOOMP %u20ac10.000Jupiter-2 (!) 1.5/5 cm prototypeno. 44094016, 1947, condition A%u2013 %u20ac 20.000 %u2013 24.000Officially, the Soviet high-speed 5%u2009cm f/1.5 lens for FED/VOOMPmount was introduced and finalised as the Jupiter-3. However, thevery first prototype of this design was designated as Jupiter-2%u2009%u2014%u2009orsimply %u2018Jupiter%u2019 %u2014 as documented in the GOI %u2018Blue Book,%u2019 diagram no.%u200947.07b. The lens offered here is an exceptionally rare andpreviously undocumented Jupiter-2 5%u2009cm f/1.5 in M39 screw mount,marked with an %u2018F%u2019 for Foto (photographic use). It is beautiful, near-mint condition, with very good, coated optics and comes with a plain aluminium Tropen box.496 GOI f. Leningrad %u20ac3.000*Jupiter-3 1.5/5 cm prototype no. 4388, 1948, condition A/B %u20ac 6.000 %u2013 7.000A rare GOI prototype lens %u2014 part of the State Optical Institute%u2019s select series of experimental optics from 1948%u201349 %u2014 designed for the exceptional GOI-Leningrad rangefinder camera. This lens isone of several (e.g., Uran-14 wide-angle, Jupiter-3 f/1.5, Industar33 tele) crafted to exacting standards and paired with a quickchange mount system. The offered example%u00a0is in beautiful condition, with very good optics.497 GOI f. M42 Jupiter-9 AL %u20ac4.000*1.8/85 mm Aspherical prototype no. 7806, 1978, condition A/B %u20ac 8.000 %u2013 10.000A unique Soviet aspherical lens%u2014developed two years after Canon%u2019s legendary FD 85%u2009mm f/1.2 S.S.C. Aspherical. In 1978, only two yearsafter Canon released their pioneering FD 85%u2009mm f/1.2 S.S.C.Aspherical, the State Optical Institute (GOI) in Leningrad completed the design and construction of the first Soviet lens to incorporateaspherical elements. The prototype, designated Jupiter-9 AL (%u2018AL%u2019for Aspherical in Soviet terminology), is a fully finished and opticallyfunctional lens. Due to the extremely high production costs and technical challenges of manufacturing aspherical surfaces at the time, the project never advanced to serial production, making this example unique. An intriguing detail is found on the front lens cap, which bears the engraved name N.P. Zakasnov%u2014a scientist noted for his work on space technology instruments. This suggests that the lens may have been produced as a one-off experimental piece, possiblyintended for testing in advanced optical or aerospace applications. A historically important prototype, representing the Soviet Union%u2019s firststep into the highly demanding field of aspherical lens construction.498 GOI Zenit M39 Jupiter-30 %u20ac12.0002/85 mm (OB-322) prototypeno.100577, c.1971, condition B/A %u20ac 22.000 %u2013 26.000At the same time that Asahi Pentax introduced the first %u2018SMC%u2019(Super-Multi-Coated) lenses and Carl Zeiss Jena had already begun producing multi-coated (MC) optics, the State Optical Institute (GOI) in Leningrad also embarked, around 1971, on the transition from single coating to multi-coating technology. The Jupiter-30 was conceived as the successor to the well-known Jupiter-9 2/85%u2009mm, designed for M39 FED/Zorki rangefinder cameras as wellas for early Zenit SLRs. However, as we know today, the Jupiter-30 was never released under this designation as a production lens %u2014 only many years later did another, unrelated lens appear under the same name. The example offered here is an originalprototype, in very good, fully original condition, with perfectly clean optics. Although it carries no MC marking, it shows a distinctly different and remarkably refined coating compared to theJupiter-9, making it a truly unique collector%u2019s piece. It is offeredtogether with a Zenit-C camera no. 58158298.499 GOI Leningrad f. M39 %u20ac6.000Teleobjektiv 5.5/13.5 cmno. 2427, c.1935, condition A/B %u20ac 12.000 %u2013 14.000One of the very first Soviet telephoto lenses in M39 mount,produced as a prototype exclusively for the earliest black FED cameras. A remarkable feature of this special lens is its retrofocus design %u2014 highly unusual for a pre-war construction %u2014 which allows the lens to maintain the same physical length when focused. Based on the serial number, it was manufactured around 1935, several years before interchangeable lenses for FED cameras began to be mass-produced at other Soviet factories (from 1938 onwards).The offered lens is in very good condition and is accompanied byits original GOI wooden keeper with matching serial number.500 GOI Fodis-1K 1.8/135 mm %u20ac10.000prototypeno. 86038, 1986, condition A%u2013 %u20ac 20.000 %u2013 24.000Until today, an absolutely unknown example of the Fodis-1K 135 mm f/1.8 made by GOI in 1986 for the Almaz 102 camera. A small serieswas later produced by Zavod KOMZ around 1989, but even those are extremely rare, being among the last Soviet-era lenses. The offered%u00a0lens is in beautiful, near-mint condition, with very goodoptics. It represents a remarkable discovery and an exceptional opportunity for collectors of rare Soviet lenses.
