This lens in production long time ago, this time still available as brand new from many Russian sellers. My copy also one of the latest MC version with auto and manual mode.I thought based on the pictures what I found on lensamanual.net this should be an interesting quality lens.

I got this lens not in good painting condition.
after doing some modification with the painting, it looks like zeiss zebra lens :-p
Very good lens optically, pretty sharp at f wide open and colors are great. Lens optical quality is comparable with other much more respected lens like Carl Zeiss Jena or Pentacon or even canon L series lenses. Bit heavy lens with almost 1 kg ! , Slow lens and the weight this the minus. You can pick up this lens for affordable price, real value for money.
Should I recommand this lens? Considering the price, and the image quality clearly yes.
Moreover, the image quality is far better than the telezoom provided as kit lens like the Canon EFS 55-250 IS or Canon EF 75-300 III USM.
But I would recommand this lens only if you plan to take time for your shots (portraiture, landscape). Otherwise (e.g. sports shots) I would recommand to buy an autofocus zoom.
An other point is important: is there enough left space in your bag for this monster?
