If I had one, I surely was curious to test it on M8 to confront with Leitz Super Angulons ... 
P.S. I red with more attention the lettering ... "PYCCAP" I think can be effectively translitterated to "RUSSAR"... |
Hi Luigi, I have the box and finder too. I will add a pic of it. I bought the lens secondhand about ten years ago. I have alot of photographs from it, it is a great lens. I never had the money for a 21mm
so I can't compare. The russian lens is nice and small but the finder bulky. I got so used to the angle of view in my mind that I didn't need the finder anymore. I will try and get some pics up from it. Incidentally, I have seen several on ebay, but not early old black enamel ones like this. I saw an old chrome version at a camera fair once.
