with a Soviet Kit in the North - Chaika 2M, Industar-22, North Star

 

I brought my Chaika 2M while on a trip to the city of Östersund in the Northern (half) part of Sweden.

I exposed on Fomapan 400 rated at 1600 ASA.

The lens is a 50 mm Industar-22

A few times the shutter decided to lag, giving me these star-shaped (aperture-shaped actually) photos. I hope that the stickiness won't last.

The above photo was cropped quite a bit to make it more focused on the centre.

I suspect that the rounded corners are a result of the lens barrel size. With the Chaika I am used to getting rounded corners, but not of this magnitude. I am not so surprised - the lens is not made for this type of camera, so I would expect varying results anyway.
