love my tair 3s use it quite a bit hand held , i like the close focusing of this lens. only bad thing on mine s the aperture ring is a bit loose and is hard to keep set on F5.6-F8 and id a bit hard to hold in place.

I have that exact model, it's a heavy old thing that you don't want to carry around all day!
I've had mixed results with it, it's a lens that demands concentration when you use it, but can then surprise you.
I bought an old Soligor 300 the other day, which is f5.5 and slower, but it's a lot lighter and also seems to be more forgiving when I use it.
I need to get them both out and do a shoot out between them. A project for the coming week.

Insert an ad in the Marketplace room.
Maybe some north-american members would sell one ?

I went to a camera fair today and saw three Photosniper outfits, I didn't see a big rush to buy them though.

Tair-3S / Phs overhaul:
I have repaired one having dead aperture set. It was my second Tair project - it really went smoothly - being finished in 2-3 hours.
You can manipulate infinity position with big silver knob. I suggest you unscrew four big screws holding the knob. Then you make proper infinity start by placing upper lens part correctly.
There is important thing: besides silver knob, front label ring can regulate how much inside upper lens part goes (towards infinity). So if you cannot get to infinity unscrew label ring (made in USSR) a bit. You'll need small screwdriver.
Here photos of aperture having a bath. You can also see traces of graphite (soft pencil) acting as superb aperture blades lubricant.
And two sample photos wide open made half an hour ago on first day having few minus degrees Celsius.
