Industar 50-2 (50mm f/3.5) - Underrated "Nifty Fifty" Pancake Lens Review

I’m back with another underrated vintage lens: the Industar 50-2!!! This funky 50mm f/3.5 pancake lens punches well above its weight (it weighs next to nothing on my camera) with its ability to capture crispy sharp images with a velvety vintage look and feel. In this video I intend to find out - is this wacky lens the ultimate value pickup for a “nifty fifty”?

We’ll explore Huntington Beach Pier, California USA, one of my favorite spots for a photography adventure, and then later on step into the photo studio to try some portraits. Join me for a long walk on the beach - we’ll put this pancake lens to the test with some street photography, action shots, an aperture/bokeh test, landscapes and portraits.
