I just spotted this interesting lens on eBay.

Does anyone know much about them?

Interesting lens. It does not really have a great IQ, it's fixed focus too. So it's a bit limited for everyday use/ Buy it only for collecting purposes (although the inscribed number affects the value greatly).

I agree with Spotmatic, poor IQ, its best aperture (or the least bad) is f/22 on my K100D, and it is not sharp on approx 50% of the image. This is just a collectors' lens. This one has not its case and is marked, not a great value, I paid mine 211€ shipped from USA, it is almost new and complete (caps and case) Wink
