I have been using this lens with the Zorkiy camera since 1965. Here are a few photos taken with this lens. Zorki (1955), Orion-15 (6/28), BW film, NORITSU KOKI, EZ Controller.
Here is a story on how to do Orion-15 prophylaxis. The story is in Russian, but it is accompanied by a large number of pictures that make it easy to understand how and what needs to be done.

This photo of the children on the swings was one of the reasons I acquired my copy of this lens some years ago. Absolutely love this photo. (Have never managed to do anything quite so striking with the lens myself
Thanks for posting the link to the “prophylaxis.”

This lens is really fantastic, I much prefer it to the Leica Summaron 28.
...
Even new Summaron 28 is not this good, IMO.
Does your O-15 flares a lot? I have to get hood for mine.

You can see the flare in the first picture, but the third picture where I thought there would be flare there was none.
I'm not bothering with a hood, the lens is deeply recessed already and I love how it performs.
This lens really is something special. If someone said to me you can only pick on Soviet lens, this would be it.

Fedka.com has one for $299. He is an excellent local resource.

But I didn't pay Fedka's premium for it.
