Thanks, Darren. The problem with former Soviet Union republics is
relative unreliability of the mail services... I will pass your message
to my friend.
Also, naturally, I apologize to the list as it appears that I wasn't
attentive enough and some of my private correspondence (in Russian) got
to the list.

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...)
