Here is the translation of the 2019-2020 Zenit lens roadmap:

The top title says “Lenses with electronically controlled aperture / Revival of legendary lenses with a new bayonet”.

On the bottom right it’s written “Russar – Zenitar 3 – Zenitar 12“.

On the left, there are two lenses for SLR mounts, prototypes of which were first showcased in April 2016 at the Russian Photo Forum fair: Zenitar 50mm f/1.2 (Zenitar-N as shown means Nikon F mount) and Zenitar 85mm f/1.2 (previously reported here).

On the right there are four lenses in Sony E-mount:

• The new Zenitar 50mm f/0.95 lens
• Russar, a reissue of the historical Russar 20mm f/5.6, already reissued in LTM/L39 mount in 2014 by Lomography as “Russar+ 20mm f/5.6”
• Zenitar 3, most probably a reissue of the historical Jupiter 3 (copy of the Carl Zeiss Sonnar 50mm f/1.5 from between the two world wars), a lens manufactured by KMZ for the Zorki and FED rangefinder cameras, already reissued in LTM/L39 mount in 2016 by Lomography with the name “New Jupiter 3+ 1.5/50 L39/M”
• Zenitar 12, a reissue of the historical Zenitar-12 35mm f/2 (LTM/L39 mount).
