Although the seller takes a long time to post the goods (in my case, the postmark and the date on the customs declaration showed it was posted four days after I sent a mail asking where it was and was told to be more patient; and several weeks after it was claimed to originally be posted).
I agree its a good lens, though the yellowing was a surprise. I hope that sunning will help it.
Be aware that the same photo is used on each one - so what you see is not what you get. Also, if you plan to use the supplied M42 mount, be aware that its low quality, plastic, and mine arrived broken due to poor packaging. The Kiev-17/Nikon mount is good quality metal mount, well machined.
The price is very attractive, especially for those of us in the eurozone, as its priced in USD. _________________ Camera (ˈkæ mə rə), n. Device for taking pictures in bright light
