I know very little about Russian kit but there is a market and if you needed price pointing, you could dig around in EBay. HTH

The Prinzflex range was Dixon's own brand and was as good or bad as any budget range from that era,having said that I have a Soligor 135mm a budget lens from the same era and it gives great results

The Paragon and Prinzflex items are not very good quality and fetch little money, however the Tair 11A is a very well respected lens and they are seen for sale with sellers trying to get around the £100 mark with little success, I think that a more realistic level is circa £50.00 depending of course on condition, its nice that you have the original filters and case.

When I wanted one, most went for more than £50.

The Tair is a sweet lens, it has 20 blades, moderately sharp and the bokeh is boodifull.
I sold mine a while back for £55 http://www.talkphotography.co.uk
£55 was a special TPF price, they sell stronger on ebay, £75+

All the Tair 11A,s on e-bay are being offered at £80++++ and none have sold the completed listings are also zero, so one must conclude the price is to high.

Maybe, I did buy mine in 09, didn't see many bins at the time, they were mostly auctions.
That's the thing with bins, peeps will buy in to an auction hoping to bag a bargain and still end up paying bin money, they don't buy in to bins unless they are desperate.
