Will you make a tutorial for opening a Jupiter 11A in the future? Thank you.

Спасибо, и со второго канала лайкну за труды 😉
Which lens do you prefer/think is better, the Tair 11a or the Jupiter 11?
bro you said somthing about nikon f mount, can i change it and focus at infinity? because m42 lenses never focuses to infinity at nikons. and where can i buy that adapter?
Спасибо за видео! У моего Таира выпал один из лепестков диафрагмы. Я видел, как вы собирали диафрагму юпитера 9. Здесь тот же подход? Благодарен за любой совет. Спасибо!
Thanks for this video! You helped me save a Tair 11a that was actually dug out of a trash dumpster because the focus was jammed with old grease and fungus had started to grow inside. It cleaned up perfectly; looks like new and yes it is sharp wide open with nice round bokeh,; gets very crisp just one stop down and will be a useful lens on my Sony A7RII.
Hey Retro Foto House. This is a very nice video and it has helped me a lot.
I wonder if you could post a video about how to relube the helicoid of this lens? If not video, maybe a description? Many thanks in advance!
Thanks for sharing I will stop by your shop, need to save up some money first. I already bought a few russian lenses like jupiter and mir but not this brand. I am a beginner in filming and never heard of this brand before so it looks interesting.
