Mir 26B f3.5 45mm Camera Lens With Kiev 88 SLR medium Format Camera Mount

This is a very nice, wide angle, Mir 26B f3.5 45mm Camera Lens With Kiev 88 SLR medium Format Camera Mount. Comes complete with the original black lens case.

It was made in the Arsenal factory, Kyiv, Ukraine in 1991: they ceased manufacture of this lens in 1992. 

This example is in extremely good cosmetic condition, 95% ++, with a few superficial marks commensurate with age and use. The lens case has a few blemishes and it is parting at the rear seam.

The focus ring turns smoothly however, as with many of these lenses, the aperture blades are stuck wide open. Unfortunately, this means that the lens can only be used wide open unless you are experienced enough with fixing cameras to free the aperture.
