popalock Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm off to Moscow next week and was thinking of going for a lens hunt in some of the Moscow flea markets at some point. 1 - any point? Or would I be better sourcing any of the vintage Russian lenses off eBay instead? 2 - location wise, any recommendations where best to go? 3 - any particular tips on what to look out for etc? (aside from usual glass damage, fungus, oil on blades) thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichalGajdos Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you're interested in buying helios58/2, industar50/3,5 or Tair 135/2,8 let me know, we can find an agreement on a reasonable price. In Moscow be careful when buying, always recount the money they give or you give them, they are champions in these tricks. Good luck. Let me know if you find something ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKalyan Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I live in Moscow, let me know if you need any help, do not know where to get lenses you've mentioned, do not own none of them.. I have a Russian Lomo Illumina 18mm 1.3 PL lens, which is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
