Sometimes you have to wonder why certain lenses just never become popular despite their qualities. Good demo Attila

Russian ... people want to get it always super cheap and super cheap items have no respect no matter it's quality. If you put this lens in front of with big name Leica, Carl Zeiss , Angenieux etc. Visible difference will be not recognizable I am pretty sure.
