Good news for the manual lens lovers: New Helios 40-2

Not to mention the samyang supports full automated metering as well. I have to admit, the helios looks like a fun lens to have, but not for what people are asking for it.

Fwiw, I've seen some mtf charts on nikon and canon fast primes that look just as awful wide open....

Is there any news on how/where to buy one of these?
