This is the copy of "Carl Zeiss Jena Biogon" 2.8/35. Firstly was called "BK-35" (Biogon from Krasnogorsk, 35mm). It was made at three plants: KMZ (Krasnogorsk), Arsenal (Kiev) and LZOS (Lytkarino). In 1947-52 lenses were made with lensblocks from Western Germany. In 1952 KMZ started to make it own lenses entirely.
Lenses were made with two mounts: Contax (for "Kiev" rangefinder) and M39 Leica screw mount (for "Zorki" rangefinder). Had two colours of body: silver and black. Silver lenses are better for black-and-white film and black lenses are better for colour film.
Lens is wide-angle and has one-layered multi-coating.
Offered lens was produced in 1960 at KMZ (not LZOS or "Arsenal"), is early type.
