Mir 1 setting Aperture in wrong direction?

I have aquired a Mir 37mm f/2.8 lens.
I think it has a fault:
first I set the preset ring to e.g. f/8, next if I set the apurture ring to f/2.8, the diaphragm blades close down to f/8 :



and they open up when I set the aperture ring to f/8. Surely this must be wrong or am I mistaken?

My copy does the same ... just like my Jupiter-9 and Helios 44. Normal behaviour for russian preset.

Yes, also happens regarding other preset lenses.

That is comforting. It seems I have to get used to it.
Thanks for the quick answer.

Same with driving, I never understood why in some countries one would drive on the wrong side of the street..... Wink Wink
