If I remember right, you have an Industar-61 on your FED 2?
For all intent and purpose, the Industar-61 and Industar-61 L/D are the same lens, at least so far as I've read.
According to sovietcams.com, all Industar-61 lenses have Lanthanum glass. After the first few Industar-61 variants, they added the L/D to the name.
I have read more than a few claims that the earlier Industar-61 is a better lens than the L/D version. I have a suspicion that might come for the poorer quality control that came with the later L/D versions produced in the 70s.
The copy I have came with my FED 3, and really is a superb lens.
