So, long story short:
>am into Soviet cameras
>have FED-5 (M39 mount) and Zenit E (M42 mount)
>have half-frame Industar-69 lens (M39) for the FED, used it with some success, wanted to try it out on the Zenit
>figured it'd be better since it's an SLR and I could actually see the focussing (the Industar-69 is not rangefinder adjusted)
>got the M39-M42 adapter today
>fits, but everything is blurry as hell, regardless of focus/apeture/etc
>this also goes for the Industar-61 lens that standard comes with the FED-5
