Not exists due they are not adoptable, no aperture in lens if I remember as well.

IIRC the lenses have a short register. However the main problem is that they don't have an aperture ring - the aperture is controlled by the camera. On a non-native camera you have no control.

Ops...

Just I saw a Kv10 lenses 10min before. The focus, the hyperfocal marks, and I don't see the F barrel. Now I understand...

Thanks for the info!!

I have a Mir-1B in Kiev mount, mint condition, it is useless as no way to control aperture.
