At the moment I can’t test the lenses very much since I have a work deadline today and a bad caugh that wants me to stay inside :( But I wanted to show you the beauty 135mm:

This turned out to be easy…

1. Unscrew the ring where the lensname is printed. That’s just a ring screwed down in the filterthreads. Take a round object with smaller diameter then the 49mm filterthreads, cover it with a rubberglove or something that’s soft but has friction. Press down and unscrew the name-ring.
2. The front hull of the lens is atteched with three small screws. Tighten the small screws you see down between the hull and the lenses glass.
3. Reattach the name-ring. Done!

Here some pictures I took while doing this:

Praktica LTL with Pentacon 50mm/1.8

Unfortunately the filtererings on the lens was bad, dented. I fixed it by smashing a greenfilter and attached to the lens. Not great for collectors probably, but I like to use this m42 lens… with filters and hood :)
