Thank you ! Yes I paid a lot for it, I think rare because was expensive when it did came from factory and wasn't sold in large amount.
Technically brilliant refer on their price level.

Yes, mine have it. Quiet common with rare filter lenses.

Stunning photos Attila!
Call me crazy but I really enjoy the bokeh 
I have an offer for 800€ to buy this lens in very good condition... but I just bought some very good lenses (from Contax G series) which are nearly untouched by me and I don't have liquid money so this has to wait 
Are there any other comparable lenses available?
A friend of mine is making his own mirror lenses for astrography... maybe I should try to ask him for a ~250mm lens (he's usually producing something like ~2000mm f/15)
