It came from Fedka.com and cost maybe $35. It certainly hasn't the finish quality of an Elmar, but I have been amazed at the results. When stopped down the shots are very sharp and it has a nice bokeh when opened up under low light. It is really compact, too, just like an Elmar. I had sold off much of my Leica M gear, but have retained an M4-2 body and a bunch of screwmount VC and old Leica lenses. This FED fits right in.
