This is not a difficult lens to find on the usual auction sites, and is still a relative bargain compared to the f1.8/f1.9 Takumars and later Pentax models - as well as the original Zeiss Sonnars (East & West German) that it was cloned from.
The problem is often finding a good one with no issues. In that respect, I would almost feel MORE secure buying from the original country (eBay has them offered from Belarus and Latvia, among other countries in that part of the world). Of course, that is no guarantee of one with no issues either, and you do have to pay more shipping than finding something closer to home. (And if a return IS necessary...)
