Mr. Bittacy: Mir 1, made it around the world with the lens, front element and number plate rattling around in its plastic case slamming into each other. incredibly the front element does not show scratches. Testament to KMZ.
Mr. Bittacy: Mir 1, will need disassembly because on top of the missing front name plate retainer, it will not achieve infinity focus, only focuses out to 10 meters, Seems to have suffered from a “CLA”
Mr. Bittacy: Mir 1
Mr. Bittacy: Mir 1 serial 000294, missing the 47mm female ring the name plate screws into to hold the front element. Simple solution to get test shots until I figure out how to get a replacement. O-ring and 49mm filter. Takes really good shots, lens is worth saving.
