Hi, I've just received a Mir 3V lense for my Saliut-C, and i was wondering if someone could indicate me how to use it. My problem is that the "diaphragme" opening is somehow quite hard, and I'm yet to understand the purpose of the little "locking" wheel near to the closingt indication.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paul,

Can't tell anything about your lens.
For me, it's rather Feds or Kievs (and Leicas/Contaxes!).
But many thanks for your pictures: some really "speak" to me.
I never used a Lubitel: I will try soon!

Amitiés. Jacques.
