p.2 #3USSR made lens image thread(Helios, Jupiter...) II
I would love to see some from the Tair 11 and Tair 11A if anyone has them. I am strongly considering the 11 if its performance is anything like the 11A - seems like the perfect mate to my NEX. EDIT: I seem some from the 11, looks great : ) Anyone know how the size of these two compares? I know the 11 comes in m39, which I would prefer....

I had both. Performance of 11A is clearly better. Size is pretty much same, 11A is about 8% heavier.11 comes in m39 and 11A comes in m39 and m42 mounts.It`s not L39(leica) but it`s m39 zenit so adapter will be same size as for m42 lens.

Thank you so much for your reply, I'm glad to see that there is someone that has both out there That pretty much makes my decision (and was my assumption based on the limited samples out there). Thank you! Also, I had no clue there were to m39 mounts, time to read a bit

M39 zenit is same size as l39 but FL is very different.Zenit m39 is 45,2mm, m39(l39, ltm) 28,8mm and m42 is 45,5
If you looking for small size tele for nex better choice will be Jupiter-9(85mm f2) or 11(135mm f4) in l39 or kiev/contax mount. Jupiter-9 for RF it`s much better than m42 version.

Jupiter-3 50mm f1.5 great central sharpness, good colours, lot of blades(aperture is always round), interesting bokeh, little CA when wide open, corners aren`t good, very good for portraits

Is anyone aware of a good adapter for M42-Nikon mount which will assure me of infinity focus? I also plan on mounting M42-NEX as well. I would like to be sure of infinity focus before buying.... Thanks!

To my understanding, M42 to Nikon will not work due to Nikon's longer registration. The adapter would need to have an element to attain infinity.

I never remember all that I post, but do know tat some of these were posted in the Alt Images thread, but maybe are better placed here. These are all from my Kalejnar 100/2.8. This is the sharpest of my four lenses in this focal range. The lens was sold with swappable mounts for Nikon and M42; I was fortunate to receive both with my copy.

Yeah, there's not too much to the 50-2 is there, I just CLA'd mine again, I'm trying some different lube than the white lithium grease I was using, so far it's way better.
Here are some Industar 69 shots on my NEX-7 that I've posted else where.
And one new one that I missed focus from where I wanted it but I like it anyways.
