Yes, very good lens in very expert hands. 
I have it in P6 mount. I like its colors very much. The last one is very Volna.
Its min focusing distance is interesting : 0,60m.

Thanks, I dunno if its a copy of the Biometar. I have not seen or read anything conclusive to support that. The front elements are not not cemented together like the Biometar,as I have read . There appears to be a gap between the 2nd and third element, according to someone here that has opened the lens :
http://forum.mflenses.com/volna-3-repair-guide-t26966,highlight,%2Bvolna.html
Thank you Attila, Olivier and Orio for your kind comments.
I have come to like this lens ,and I find the lens I own t performs very well-renders sharp images even wide open, produces nice colors, bokeh and performs better in a little sunlight -like a lot of lenses. 
Some more images shot wide open.
Cheers

Well done!.
I also like very much my Volna, it's not a Biotar copy as far as I know.
Mine is in Pentacon-six mount and I use it on the Pentax, with the corresponding adapter.
A lens with great personality and able to focus quite close.
Regards.
Jes.
