Hi!
I recently received this nice lens. I only recently learned that this lens exist.
I have now Tair-11, Tair-11 black version with f32, Tair-11A, Tair-11T, and so Tair-11K. Now need to find a nice Tair-11-2 at good price Smile.
According to a good source, factory documents show some other version, like Tair-11S or Tair-11E (Э).

This Tair-11K has OKS mount, and is for Cinema camera (K = Kino). It is based on Tair-11A, and was made at least in 1986 and 1987 (maybe more?).

Here is the lens itself (sorry, bad quality photo)





And so some test shots :

The Tair-11K is for cine cameras, the Russians produced cine mount versions of the Jupiters and Tairs, the lenses are identical to the usual versions, just with different mounts.

Sure, but they have also different body.
But not only Jupiters and Tairs. Some Helios were used (like helios-33). Most of the lenses were produced by LOMO under generic name OKSx-focal-x (where x are number indicating the model, focal is for focal). KMZ didn't use this name system (exemple RO2-2M). Only rare exemples exist of lenses with "K" suffixe.
In fact Tair-11k is the first one I see with that suffixe.

And naturely jupiter-11 is a great lens also. But they are different.

Thanks Klaus!

TAo2, Jupiter-11 is not better, it is just too different to compare.
Jupiter-11 has very smooth bokeh, it's a sonnar type. Tair-11's bokeh is far not that smooth, and has unique optical diaphragm. I think it's enough to legitimly own both of them Smile .

Some more with this Tair-11K
