Nice! Are you sure it's that old, though? Last I checked, Zenit still sells these:
МС Зенитар-М 2/50
Cost is 1500 rubles (~$47). Man, that's cheap! $16 sounds even better.
I love Russian lenses. They take unique pictures, and look totally unique on the camera. I like how the Industar-50 (made in 1958!) looks on my K-5 IIs, though it's more of a study in contrast:
It's a little lopsided, but it makes the K-5 small enough to fit into my old bridge P&S camera's case. My Helios-40 makes the camera lopsided in the other direction, and don't even get me started on the MTO 11CA.
You should take advantage of the fact that all these wonderful lenses are in your country!
