This model didn't use batteries, it used a built in phosphor tube with micro-light technology. Laughing Laughing

I knew I had heard that name before. It's funny how different lenses manage to use the same name.

Well, at that price, i would give it a try, but the seller doesn't ship to France ...

Yea if it goes that cheap I feel like its worth trying. I'll keep an eye on it and possibly give it a try. I'm sure its nothing special but it is a pretty fast 135.

I'd get it just for fun for this money, but the seller will only ship to the USA.

any idea what kind of mount this might have? I'll ask the seller but thought I would throw it out here anyway.

Now how cool is the name of this lens? Very Happy

Guess the Nokton, Flektagon and whatever the european lenses are called never worked out in USA so they started to make name the lenses on their own? Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

"Dark invader" is just so American style, so 80's and soooo cool!

If this where a lens for 35mm camera, and a pretty good performer, it would just be too good to be true. Razz

This one went for $47 + $14 US shipping. I was the winning, and only, bidder for a while but honestly I don't think I would every be able to use it. I would have tried though Smile

Interested to see the sample too, I asked the seller about the mount but did not get answer, please let us know what the mount is Very Happy

Sorry guys but I actually didn't win the auction. I was the first and only bidder up until about 10 minutes left. I never got a response back from the seller about the mount either and talked myself out of paying any more than $30 for it Smile

I am still curious about it though.

I had one of these Tasco night vision scopes many years back.

http://www.tasco.com.au/Products/CategoryID/67/List/0/Level/a/ProductID/412.aspx

The lens is a Soviet KMZ lens with a funny blue coating like in the photo. It was in a M42 mount, but before the Digital era hence did not use it on any of my film cameras.
