There is no issue with differing focal length calculations and cam grinds so the glass is what the glass is. When the Russian team does the job right you have one of the outstanding 85mm lenses made. Russian quality control being what it is, always either inspect before purchasing or have a right of return. On the other hand, with what they are going for, what is to lose? Specifically, my example is sharp wide open; sharp with the edges rounded on the fine details. By F4 the lens is as good as you could want. Flare is reasonable if you use a hood, but there is considerable veiling flare when there is a bright light in the frame. My example is single coated. Really, at under $40 for a clean example there is no reason not to try one out for yourself.
