212501 GOI f. M42 3.2/150 mm %u20ac2.000*Telephoto Lens 1950s, condition A/B %u20ac 4.000 %u2013 5.000A very interesting and unique lens %u2014 an unnamed GOI prototype, presumably manufactured around 1950%u20131955. It can be regarded as a precursor to the well-known Tair-56 150%u2009mm f/3.5, whichentered small-series production at KMZ in the late 1950s and was offered in our 45th auction. The presented prototype is particularly notable for its faster aperture of f/3.2, demonstrating the attemptto achieve higher light-gathering power. It is fitted with an M42mount and remains in excellent condition, with smooth focusing and very good, coated optics. A remarkable piece of Soviet optical history.502 GOI Jachma K MC %u20ac12.0002.8/300 mm prototype1986, condition B+ %u20ac 24.000 %u2013 28.000Commissioned by the Soviet Olympic Committee in 1978 anddeveloped by the State Optical Institute (GOI) for the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games, this ambitious telephoto lens was originally intended for use with the newly introduced Almaz-102 camera. Due to its highly complex optical system, however, performance comparable to contemporary Nikon and Canon designs could not be achieved at the time, and production was delayed. Only in 1986 did the Zavod Arsenal in Kiev begin small-scale production of the Yashma-4N lens for Kiev SLR cameras with Nikon mount. The example offered here is the only documented GOI prototype knownto survive in fully operational condition. Like the later series, it features internal focusing, a built-in filter drawer, and multi-coatedoptics, but uniquely in the original Almaz (Pentax K) mount. The engravings are made in both Cyrillic and Latin script, suggesting that this prototype may have been intended as a presentation model for international audiences. Well preserved and fully functional, with good optics, this rare prototype is offered completewith an Almaz-103 camera body no. 8502292. A true rarity of museum quality, representing a milestone in Soviet optical design and a unique opportunity for advanced collectors.503 GOI FS-2 FotoSniper %u20ac20.000no.1365, c.1943, condition B/A %u20ac 34.000 %u2013 38.000A very rare and historically significant Soviet Armyoutfit, manufactured in extremely limited numbers between 1937 and 1941.
