On Ebay: a good alternative to EL-Nikkor 80 f5.6 / 75 f4.0

I just noticed a lens that looks like an exact copy of my Dixons Autocrat De Luxe 75mm f3.5. Can't see any difference from my Dixons apart the branding. The Dixons performs very well in UV spectrum, I find it sharp and has a quite long FFD so can be mounted on Nikon cameras as well and will still have infinity. The aperture remains a circle at all stops, thanks to the 10 (or 12?) blades diaphragm and it's a well constructed lens IMHO.

here's a shot with my Dixons (f8.0 - 5" - ISO 200):

And here's a comparison with the EL-Nikkor 75 f4.0

And here's a comparison against the EL-Nikkor 80 f5.6 at f8.0

As you can see it is just a very little better than the EL-Nikkor 80mm f5.6, but it starts at f3.5. The EL-Nikkor has a 34.5mm filter thread, yet the Autocrat has no filter thread at all...
