The glass elements are intact, with a visible purple \/ blue anti-reflection coating. As with any vintage lens of this age, minor internal dust or faint cleaning marks may be present, which do not affect performance. The aperture ring turns smoothly, and the blades open and close correctly.

To use it on modern DSLR or mirrorless cameras (Sony, Canon, Fujifilm, Micro Four Thirds), you will need a focusing helicoid or a macro bellows extension adapter. Set up this way, it becomes a sharp, affordable macro lens and a nice piece of Soviet optics history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVega-11U 50mm f\/2.8 lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear protective caps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree worldwide shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e from Ukraine with a tracking number.
