In 1965, the Soviet camera industry transitioned to the new M42 screw mount, with the Zenit-E becoming the first widely produced camera to adopt this system. Already in 1963, the State Optical Institute (GOI) had developed the first experimental lenses in M42 mount, anticipating this shift. Presented here is one of the earliest known GOI M42 lenses: the 5.6/350mm ZM-2.
The ZM-2 is a mirror (catadioptric) telephoto lens, combining refractive and reflective optical elements to achieve a long focal length in a comparatively compact construction. The present example represents the short, compact prototype version. Based on our research, only a single surviving example of this configuration is currently known.
The lens is preserved in very good condition, finished in black paint, and is complete with its original front lens cap and the original GOI factory metal box.
