    Overview

    The MC Volna-8 50 mm f/1.2 is an extremely rare Soviet prototype lens, with only three serial-numbered units confirmed to exist. It lacks an aperture iris but has a helicoid and is functional. The lens is offered at $99,999, reflecting its collector status rather than optical performance. No reviews discuss image quality, build, or handling beyond its extreme rarity. It suits only wealthy collectors of Soviet prototypes.
