As far as I know, it is not Zenitar, but Mir 47-K, 20/2.5 (It doesn't
really matter, but it is easier to search as Mir). It is said to be a
nice lens, but I have seen rumors its rear filter (which you must use)
interferes with the mirror on Pentax MZ (ZX) series of cameras.

There is one big difference to me. Funny that it doesn't nearly

With results coming off an Agfa D-Lab, I can see the difference
