"Help" is the least helpful title you can use here.
Next time, please tell us the real subject of your inquiry in the title. "Question about the Paisar 55_300 f1:4.5" or something similar.
Never heard of that lens- sounds like it may be one of those re-branded third-party models that are usually not very well made.
Good luck with your search in any case.

Are you sure the name is Paisar? I did an internet search and nothing by that name came up.

Still not finding any.

I get those too.
This one looks like an old Soligor- could be the same MFG with a different label

If you do an internet search for Polaris 55-30mm lens you will find a lot of information.

If you mount it on the gun stock then don't use it. It's not worth it to get killed.

A number of people have suggested the same thing. Given events of late, I'm starting to think you all may be right.

Tripods look a bit suspicious too, depending on how you carry them.

In Pennsylvania in 2015 a photographer with a tripod was investigated by police who thought she had a machine gun and last year in Ohio a news photographer was shot by a deputy who mistook the photographers tripod for a gun.
