The 300mm f/2.8 Yashmar has been made sporadically in limited
quantities for some years. I wrote a test report on it for
Shutterbug something like ten years ago. Optically it is a copy of
an early Nikkor 300/2.8 . I found the sample I tested to perform
very well, but not up to the quality levels of later versions of the
Nikkor. I have not seen a Yashmar for sale in quite a while. Can
you say how much you paid for it? All of the ones I have seen for
sale were rather expensive.

It's looks like the copy of the A* 300/2.8
Is there any info about this out there? I did not find anything
about the optical formula of the Russian lens, the web page says 8
elements, just like in the A* ...
TIA for any info. I am just curious...
