Optar Illumina s16 Lenses

Hi, I am investigating the Optar Illumina s16 lenses which are manufactured by KMZ (Krasnogorsk Factory S. A. Zvereva / Zenit) in Russia. There is an eBay seller but the KMZ online store (which is in Russian) has the lenses for about half the price than the seller on eBay. Has anyone brought direct from the KMZ factory or know anything about where to get these? Thanks

Hi! Do you have a link ? These should be good

This: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-new-Optar-Illumina-lense-8mm-9-5mm-12mm-16mm-25mm-50mm-/182014325820 @ 925 USD . Though they are listed here as well: http://shop.zenit-foto.ru/kinoob-ektivy @ < 525 USD (could be that they did not include sales tax). Which are basically the more expensive http://www.lumatechinc.com/16.html (e.g. http://www.videolinea.com/shop/?filter_product_brand=172 ). I've mentioned this a couple of times on the web, but nobody seems really interested for some reason.

Curious about these. These are on my radar as well for like a year or so now. Would love to hook 'em up to a BMD Micro Cinema Camera (if they'll ever become availlable). I have some close Russian friends, so they might be able to hook me up. I didn't actually contact the eBay seller or Zenit to see if something could be worked out directly with them. Try that if you really want these.

Howdy, Stranger!
