Its a Russian old lens designed back in 1930's where Russia was still called Soviet Unions.
It seems like these old lens tend to have some issues with them and i had myself mentally prepared before buying it..anyway..its just $40...
The moment that i received it, i had Phillip Tay to look through the lens for me...to check if there are any focusing alignment issues...
To my surprise, he said "NO...absolutely perfect"! I really sigh a heave of relief on that spot..before i jumped into joy!
Anyway, given my suspicious behaviour, i wont be convinced till i see the results..
So some test shots i did...
Trix pushed 800 and developed in D76..the best combination ever!
The minimum focusing seems to be off..showing a scale of 0.8m where this lens was supposed to min focus at 1m...anyway..its still spot on!
The handsome me...haha...flare control was bad...
Serving as a portrait lens, definitely sharp enough :)
Overall..i think i got myself a great bargain for a great lens!
