Welcome kotti7

Nice field of clover and plantain!

Found an Ina in thread http://forum.mflenses.com/kawakami-seiki-kowanon-kawanon-thread-t79163.html

Most of the other posts here refer to the Ina 135mm.

That INA 25 / 3.5 mentioned in the other topic isn't a bad lens, but it is definitly a lens of it's time. I don't use it much, I keep it as a curiosity, and it's the widest M42 I've got.

I have a couple of INA lenses I bought as a set about a year ago, but it's hard to tell if they are the same type as yours, without seeing more of what your one looks like. As a rebrander, INA would have sourced lenses from many different makers over time.

A bit disappointed I can't take it back for servicing. Companies these days huh? Apparently they were bought by Dixons in 1972.

That was not a cheap lens.
In 1967 I was earning thirteen pounds and ten shillings (Australian) per fortnight as a postman.
Pounds sterling was worth more.

Mine is very similiar. I see two difference: serial numer contains 6 digits and letters on the side are orange.
And some curiosity: i have tried reverse mounting and it looks interesting. here's some photo:
