I received a package with a Zenit 15m, Mir 1V, and Helios 44m-6 the other day. Everything was in decent shape. The Mir however had a rattle on the inside. I feared that it might be a glass element but thankfully it was not. Turns out, upon removing the focus ring, that one of the end stops had broken loose. The thing is that the lens stops at infinity no problem. But without the second stop in place, it actually allows the lens to focus closer. Would the lens performance in this "extra-range" be unacceptable since the lens is not actually designed for this? Should I fix it? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
