Oh, sorry, Russian Federation. It's not soviet era lens technically, it's renewed production at old plant. I'm not a big fan of post soviet era Russian goods.

Originally posted by paulh Fairly sharp wide open, and very sharp stopped down a bit. Flare is a problem, as expected, and I have to use my hand as a hood until I can find a proper one. It's just a low cost fun lens, with surprisingly good performance!
Thanks, it's good to know. Maybe I will get that lens one day to play with.

I've tried to shoot landscape with helios 44K-4 today. Failed.
I don't blame the lens, most likely it's me.
Got ducks instead.
