Kiev KORSAR MC F/2.8 35mm lens from Kiev-35A LTM 39 thread Wide angle lens

KORSAR MC F/2.8 35mm lens from Kiev-35A. Adapted to the LTM 39 thread using 3D printing. The Kiev-35A cameras were a Soviet copy of the Minox and were considered very unreliable. But Korsar lenses had a better reputation than Minox. The copy I am offering is undoubtedly unique. It's also quite quirky. It has a very unusual shape of the diaphragm, which gives unusual bokeh. Aperture works smoothly in full range. In digital cameras using an adapter it focuses to infinity. However, it will not work with the rangefinder. In this case, only zone focusing is an option. The front element can be accidentally unscrewed, but it is easy to screw back in. Lenses are clean with no fungus or haze. I don't have caps. It was supposed to be an experimental lens for me, but I ended up giving up on using it. I think it may be an interesting antidote to today's clinically excellent lenses. Thank you for your attention.
