I have a Soviet camera lens built for the domestic market (so worse quality) from the 80s and its build and optical quality is fine. It doesn’t compare to similar vintage lenses from Japan but was much cheaper new at the time.

Japan in the 60's and early 70ś produced the same crap or worse than the Soviets, similar to Chinese clones for hardware today. Later in the 70's and the 80's they produced amazing hardware.
