I bought my Russar of a table full of Russian photographica at the Swarte Markt (flea market) in Alkmaar in the Netherlands. Had a choice of about a half-dozen finders so chose the one that I liked best. This little lens continues to astonish me and performs well even against the standards of the 21/2.8 Biogon I use on the G system. I'd like a Heliar, but can't quite bring myself to fork out the bucks--I paid USD$120.00 for the Russar and finder--which sets a pretty tough price to performance ratio to beat.
