I believe only two members have this lens (Poolhall and Helios). Well now I'm the third! Woohoo! Here it is mounted to a k1000 for size reference because I honestly thought this was a bigger beast when buying. Can't wait to try it!

Any lens who's name is so long that it doesn't fit in a single picture is a win in my book.

I unfortunately have not taken any pictures with it yet. I have about 6 cameras running with all sorts of film, so the pentax will have to wait its turn.

The Variozenitar-K is a f2.8-3.5/25-45mm made in 1991.

Great find! I can't wait to see the pics you take with that hard to find lens. I was bidding on a copy of that lens on German Ebay and was the highest bidder when the seller decided he didn't want to ship to the US. The winning bid was 29 Euros.
Congrats on snagging a copy of an increasingly hard lens to find.

No kidding! I made the mistake of asking the seller if he would ship to the US. After that, I was shut out. Too bad as that would have been some major bragging rights. For those who have the lens, is it worth getting if you have that focal range and speed covered by another zoom? Does it have that Russian Mojo?

I don't know this lens, just I saw on pretty high price in local shop so I guess this is better than an average zoom.
