Found this on the auction site:

No connection... but I've done biz with these folks... no problems.

I've got one of these, from rafcamera. My primary lens with Kiev now.

Quite sharp and contrasty, good color rendition; usable at 1.8. Prone to flare though: hood is a must in sunny days.

I've got one of these for sale in the classifieds right now. $12 + shipping.

Whew! Thank you T_om... I was tempted, such a low price and I've heard that's a really nice lens. But I have two Jupiter-8's and don't really need a Helios too... um, do I? 🙂

That's OK.

Ben said the lens was perfect except for the crack across the second element and the chip or two missing from the rim and the little loose stuff on the inside that makes it look JUST like a kaleidescope when you turn the lens just right and the fungus that appears to have escaped from an agricultural experiment and...

Does that make you feel better? 😀

Tom

PS: Ben, don't tell him what the lens is REALLY like. 🙂
