This one is not the Photosniper version ?

Interesting.

I'm also a happy owner of the Tair 300A and get a lot of enjoyment using it.
Then 300S or PS is the snaiper version.

I had the Photosniper version. Heavy it was and the stopping down was annoying, but the worst problem was the IQ; never really sharp. I think this was down to the individual copy rather than the lens as a whole, as I have seen some good images from others.

Luis, it's not the photosniper lens which is identified Tair-3s

I have also the Tair-3A Grand prix Brussel 1958 :


I talked about it in this topic of arhi_tectu-1 :
http://forum.mflenses.com/pentacon-300-f8-t17190,highlight,tair+++300.html

I think it would be interesting to create a specific topic for him, as it seems there is nothing about his lens on the forum.
Here I go...
