The item either completed or was removed. It had only about an hour to go when I posted the URL. It was a Helios 44 58mm f/2, and was advertised with a starting price of something like $200 as a collector's item, but the funniest bit was that the advertiser has found the aperture stop-down ring of this pre-set lens and said something like "it operates an internal shutter - fisheye or something?
