Does anyone have one in pl mount or oct-18 mount.
 
There are a few on Evil Bay...
 
All of them were for 16mm format, no?
 
Most Lomo 10mm you will see are for 16mm. It is very hard to find a good one for 35mm format. The best have artifacts that are not pleasing. And usually the price makes me think that a Duclos 11-16 might be a better investment for the money (or at least the Tokina or Tamrons).
Best,

I don´t think the lomo 10mm is that sharp. And the focus it fixed. Go for the 11-16mm

So you are saying the way they made the lomo 10mms, was in such a way that you would get artifacts when filming?
 
Take the Tokina instead...

I've never used one lomo 10mm, but there was like 5 units on Ebay the last 3 years, they are still for sale because they all look washed out.
Not new old stock like russian dealer usually find. And all of them seems to lack focus ring. It's like mount + glass and deal with it buyers....

The Tokina is not that sharp, the flare is old school (I 'love it), contrast is good, and with a little color grading, you can make it a Lomo easily.

I have the Ekran 14mm, it seems to me you won't find better than that lens for "lomo style" wide shot. The 14mm had 4 units on ebay in 5 years (until last august when I had mine, I stopped looking after that), 3 were in good condition.
 
If your tokina isn't sharp you got a bad one. I have only used the Duclos versions, but every one I have seen has been razor sharp.
