This Fuji 50mm lens looks like a copy of the Summar, maybe a Summitar.
it looks like a pre war design regardless what is stated in the Q&A section.

Looks like a Summar copy, but hard to tell.

Why would one design a lens of this type and limit the minimum aperture to f/12.5 ?

It is f/2 on the lens actually.

Front glass is too large to be a Summar clone, so more like a Summitar clone. After 1945, neither lens was patent protected (due to war reparations).

Looks more like a Sumitar or Sumicron to my eyes... especially the focusing mount

Wonder if it was coated ?

I like the logo on the cap...

First time I've seen / heard of Fuji lens in LTM...

I've not owned the 35mm, both the Fujinon and the Cristar.

I wonder what kind of filter will be able to fit the Cristar lens.
