TAIR11-A 135/f2.8 Lens…..Old USSR lenses Rock….

I just received this lens this morning. Purchased it from ebay seller in Greece (I’ve bought lenses from him before), and I have to admit, these old CCCP lenses are definitely different. They have a magical look to them. This specific lens has 20 Aperture blades and it’s bokeh (as you can see) is fantastically smooth and beautiful. I’ve taken lenses apart a couple of times before (they usually had 5-7 aperture blades) and can not believe that someone actually managed to stick 20 blades inside this lens’ aperture mechanism. Anyways, enough talk…..here are some images…..enjoy.
