Hello, can anyone here share with me this item value (personal selling experience, witnessing some online auction, etc.) of this item please?

Seems to be too rare to estimate for me now.

(I was offered this lens as a part of a certain deal instead of money compensation, so that's why I care about. I have zero intention to keep it but I should be able to re-sell it.)

I'd say 250 EUR due rarity and being available mostly only in Europe. Still looking for one. This is cheapest
i can find at the moment: Click here to see on Ebay.de one can consider some discount and Sonnar
included is worth min. 60 EUR.

Isn't the "sonnar" actually the pentacon 135/2.8 ?

Prakticar 135mm F2.8 is a Meyer Orestor while Prakticar 135mm F3.5 is a CZJ Sonnar.

Hi Marek,

seen the M42 variant go for $80/90 (optically identical tae the bayonet mount). Ah reckon the bayonet mount would go for less as the demand would be less than the M42 and ye'd need an adapter as well. Like 1 small

PS Industar 61 LZ is a much better lens - and goes closer for pseudo macro.

Later 2.8/135 Prakticars are made by Sigma, they are fairly common in the UK, not sure about the rest of the world as it might have been just the UK importer who sold the rebadged Sigmas.
