I have no clue as to what you mean by "Arsat lenses never licensed the Planar". I do have fairly complete lens diagrams and statistics on the 2.8/80 Arsat and I recall that it is optically identical to the Volna-3, the difference being in the lens mount and the multi-coating. But I will have to dig these up. We had a rather complete discussion of this on the old Russian Camera List to which several of us then belonged, but I believe the archives of that List evaporated when the Webmaster killed it off.
