There is the MIR-36B 65mm f/3.5, one of the best Soviet lenses ever made.

What mount is this lens Attila? 65mm sounds like a wide angle for medium format.

The Flek 65 was made in Pentacon 6 mount. The MIR-36B was made in both Kiev-66 (=Pentacon 6) and Kiev-88 mounts.

Wow! Great!

And you know what? Since I have the fitting adapter now, I could also use it on my cams... Wink

Just in case you feel like throwing it away one day, throw in my direction. Laughing

The Mir 65 is a very nice lens - quite sharp, good colours and OK boke
