  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Sergey Kravchenco not to be trusted

Just so it's not a lynch mob - I want to say that I bought lenses successfully from Sergey. They needed a little TLC, but hey, they're 40 years old, I expected it.
 
Let's not start all this again. Just to even things out I had a nightmare dealing with him and I have a a dozen or so emails from people who did also, one quite recently asking me for info as he had not delivered on promises.
 
If I recall correctly, he's gotten mixed reviews on this site in the past.
 
He is a criminal. Never deal with him! He burnt me
 
Sorry for bringing this 7 years old thread back. I just want to give a heads up that he's back now. He listed a few items on eBay including this 50mm Roundfront anamorphic lens https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOMO-Anamo...926057?hash=item3fdfb20729:g:VPgAAOSwUlBedU~2

I feel like I have seen those pictures before but I'm not quite sure. Until I see https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-glas...971403?hash=item3fdfb2b84b:g:AS8AAOSwBP1elQCb well, this is exactly the same photo he sent me back in 2013! I still have that email message... Anyway, I can't believe if he still has the glass. Even if he still has it, I don't really think he would use a photo taken from 7 years ago.

I confirm, He is active and still takes money or parts and do not do anything. My business partner sent Him 4x Lomo optical blocks to do four rear spherical RF lenses parts and... nothing till now. The worst thing is, that it was over TWO YARS ago ! He write from time to time, that He want's money on His account or Western Union payment, as He does not take Paypal, because of <put here many lies>. So, He is actibve, He still takes money / parts and He still does not send items. He is active now on some other forums, as here is banned. What is much worst - He is active on Facebook forums and many persons does not know His reputation. Be aware !

Scary, I have been watching that lens on ebay. I know there is a big issue with Lomo's and scam artists on ebay but I guess it definitely is true and a larger problem than I thought. I'm really glad guys in the RED community look out for each other in regards to scammers like this.
 
Cheap lens on eBay = 90% scam. I mean, maybe He even has this lens for sale, but one is to have, one is to pay, and one is to get it. I do not trust Kravchenko
 
This is Sergey, 100% sure, so be careful. He is nice, untill He does not take Your money or items. Than He tell You He is in Hospital or someone from His Family dies or any other lie. This is what happend with my Business Partner. No sent items, no job done, just many lies.
