Hi
In the today's parcel came a lens sold as no name macro lens. Weird body, no visible marking. My friend in Ukraine told me it looks like a modified Tair, looking at the size of the body and the lenses. So I took a look at it, and noticed some almost erazed marking on the front ring.
It says something quite interesting! Tair-3N (ТАИР-3Н) , 4.5/300 and N78048! So maybe from the same family of Tair-16N, supposably used by Navy (not sure at all, just results of my "investigations" about Tair-16N). There is a Tair-16N from 1977, so it could fit. About the rear part of the lens, not sure at all that it's guenuine, looks like an adaptation, but marking looks professionnal. The M42 ring is 100% not guenuine.
On the photo marking is not very visible, but it's more clear when playing with light source.
Do anyone has any additionals infos about such Tair-3N? I didn't find any factory logo.
Diaphragme ring is clicked, so certainly not from device with motorized diaphragme selection.
