Purchased from a kind dealer in Ukraine just as the war started. It has the usual pinpoint focusing challenges but otherwise the lens arrived in almost perfect condition. It's full of very nice different bokeh surprises.

I find that if I unscrew the lens block by a mm or two it will hit focus right on from 1 to about 15 meters wide open. You have to try a few times until you get it right. There are a number of more detailed analysis online as to why the Russian LTM lenses do this and how to adjust it. It is a wonderful lens.
