I have the same lens as well. What I found interesting is that the rear cap fits the length of the lens cell itself and has the "KNEB" logo molded in it..

This is a different version with focus scale.
There is another one (Black)in fixed focus.
I will try to find.

Good point, Alain.
Normally most lenses contain a Depth Of Field Scale above the aperture . That way one can use the hyperfocal focusing system to achieve the proper f-stop. This lens however does not offer a DOF scale.
Being a 20mm, I think it safe to say that a higher f-stop would get you sharp images to infinity.
Doesn't the 35mm have the DOF Scale above the aperture control?
Screwy system....prototype lens.

I have an email sent to me from Marc James Small that added a couple interesting points concerning this lens. It was sent back in 2004 when I came across the lens on eBay. At that time we were members of the Russian Cameras Group on Yahoo. I contacted the group because I never heard of this lens and questioned its design.
I will locate his reply and see about posting here.

ho ho.... friends :
please stop !
my picture is somethoing like a joke ...
explanations (and apologies please  )
what you see there is a test I made months ago . I cut a bad Jupiter kiev lens , take off the baļonnet (shortest as possible) , then take a 39mm zenit B screw mount and fit a normal 39mm Russar.
the result is unuseable because I cannot make as compact as necessary to take infinity picture focus (only macro).
Here is dismantle assembly : |
