What lens is this?

In this eBay auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/Leica-Russian-Copy-II-Snakeskin-with-35mm-f3-5-Elmar_W0QQitemZ300253497361QQihZ020QQcategoryZ1523 4QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), KEH is selling an FSU Leica copy. But the lens is a 35mm/f3.5 Elmar copy.

What lens is that exactly? I thought the only FSU 35mm lens was the Jupiter-12.

A mislabeled 5cm Industar (Elmarowski).

3.5mm would be pretty short :)

Best,

Roland.

Man, that's an ugly camera! ;)

Yeah, it's pretty awful...

LOL! or Elmarinsky. The super-super-wide version :)

Wow, I'd expect KEH to catch something like that. They're very reputable.

I've bitched about 'em here before, but they have failed to notice obvious problems with some of their merchandise a lot lately, at least for me. I had three consecutive transactions fall through due to supposedly EX stuff that didn't work.

They sold me a very nice Zeiss Biogon last week though.
