Who sells Russian optics? (More specifically, camera lenses)

[emilio613]

Hi folks. I am wondering if any of the site sponsors, or if any of the members on here maybe have one hiding in a closet, sell Russian Camera Lenses.

I am particularily looking for the MC MTO 11CA 10/1000 OR THE MTO 1000A 10,5/1100. It is a HUGE 1000/1100mm zoom, mirror reflex lens, that usually sells REALLY cheap (like 200$ on ebay etc).

Its just that I a) don't like/trust ebay sellers most of the time, especially from Latvia lol, and b) don't have the money on my (FRAUD ALERT), nor do I like using (FRAUD ALERT).

I was hoping someone might know where to source one in Canada, for cheap, with a Canon camera mount?

Someone has to sell old Russian Optics here!

PS I think they were used as both photo lenses, and as telescopes.

You could try kremlin optics they seem to have good customer reviews and as a bonus they are in Canada

they have some interesting russian optics including nightvisions. you could ask them if they have the lenses you're looking for or if they could bring it in

Well you guys were right! They DO have the lens(es) I am hunting for...but they are asking $200 more than the market price anywhere else
