Kamerastore (Finnish shop and a very good one) seems to use a photo of the 036 S as a model photo of this lens on their site even though they have no stock. Did you get yours from them by any chance? I guess you might have since you are also a Finn
I have the 020 Black of MS-Optics Elnomaxim 55/1.2 and that one seems to have been famous in the internet before I got it 2nd hand from Map Camera. It was used in model photos when the lens was coming out and I also saw it in a blog post of a previous owner.
I've also noticed some eBay sellers or fake shops using lens photos from other sites in their sales pages. Some eBay sellers have listings copied from Map Camera at much higher prices when Map has a lens in stock. I guess they plan to buy from Map in case anybody bought from their listing... I've seen one lens I bought from Map in such listings too. It remained on some suspicious listings for a while even after I already had it......Show more →

Yup! Kamerastore might be the best store to buy and sell camera gear, not only for Finns but for all. They have quite a variety of stuff and the circulation of gear is quite lively. You gotta visit the site frequently so you don't miss unique gems
This is a fun lens Quite good performance with interesting rendering. You get flare, glow, bokeh swirl, somewhat ethereal overall feeling. If you stop it down, it can be very sharp.
These are straight out of the camera. Just enjoying the lens.
I got quite a few photos where my finger is in the corner of the shot. I see the same phenomenon with MS-Optics 50mm ISM too. These are indeed small lenses but I still don't do this with other lenses I have. You have to be precise where you keep your hands when shooting with these.
