I missed a part from the lens barrel. I found a solution how can I fix it. Need to get couple of M42 extension rings and try to figure out the right length of this tube. When it is done, it will works perfect. I opened this lens for cleaning , what a simple construction. This was the most easy lens maintenance in my experience. This lens has only one glass! Perhaps glued from two parts. I curios really this lens quality, I heard a lot information , how sharp in central part and how fast to catch the right focus. Today I tested with a temporary extension rings , focusing almost fast like AF . I guess I will love this lens if optical quality will be good enough too. I am worry about a little from hand-held shooting 400mmx2 on my Olympus = 800mm focal length.

800mm FL and no IS/VR? That's tripod country for sure.
