Thank you for this great information. I had thought either my adapter was off or I had picked up a bad copy. I even considered taking the lens apart and repairing it. Now I know--just a terrible lens.
The Mir 1 series has a really bad min focusing distance because it was designed originally to work with rangefinders in M39 cameras. The Mir 1 og can be modified to improve that min focus, I did that with mine.
Great video. Thanks! I love my silver 1967 m42 mir-1. Have a mir 24-n on order and looking forward to giving it a whirl on Nikon. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the Kalrinar-5n. Looks like it should be an interesting portrait lens.
Very nice! The Mir 24-N can be fantastic, very fun to shoot on a Nikon. I love the Kaleinar-5N, it's probably my favourite tele past 50mm, because of its usability and sharpness. Plus they still go for a very reasonable price!
THanks for this review, very nice!
Thanks for watching!
I bought it lately. Silver M1 from 64. Great video BTW :)
Thanks! Good move buying the old school version
I would love to see a side by side comparison with the Mir-1V :D
No difference, it is the same lens, but produced in different periods by different optical factories.
Did you try reversing the front glass element? That should spice it up a bit

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately it really is as simple as that.

I can see the Mir-1B being quite a fun lens to use after modding it like that. Might have to try that with my 1-Sh.

Thanks for the info! I like these kinds of reviews. Also What lens are you using to shoot this video?
Thanks for watching! I shot this video with a Zenitar-ME1 50mm f/1.7, at about f/2.8 if memory serves me right
Thank you for saving me money.
Interesting square bokeh in this vdeo. What lens did you shoot this video on (and on what camera)?
This was shot on the Zenitar-ME1 50mm f/1.7 (which has a square aperture from f/2.8 onwards), and the Nikon Z6 (4k30p)
Did they call it the SH because they ran out of letters?
@@inkysteve A valid theory
mir -1sh is a free lens for school (shkola in russian) photo section and this lens is just rejection of mir-1
Нет, это всего лишь гипотеза насчет "Школьного".
