Maybe these are common but I've never seen one before. Item location is Vologda. I wonder if it's a coincidence.

Definately not common, and made in Vologda or at least mine is, but its a Mir-47M which if anything is less common. Can still be bought new from RuGift for about the same price. But much slower delivery no doubt!

There are some samples I posted If you do a site search for 'Mir 47 Test', my opinon is much the same it has super colour rendition, very saturated, and is a good close up lens. There appears to be little distortion on my Pentax K100/Samsung GX10, at 1.5 crop. It gets pretty sharp from f8 but less so before that. I like it a lot but it is a big and heavy lens, but its fast as well for the size and a good wide angle, be very good on a film camera but I haven't tried it yet. The only downside for me is that mine is an'M' version ie m42 and its automatic only so I have had to disable the push pin to make it work as a pre set on my Pentax with an m42 adapter, however I got at the time on Ebay for about half the price of a K mount version so I can live with it
I would recommend it if you can get one at a good price there are not many about, but then a Mir-20 may be as good if a little slower, but never used one so i cant help with that
