Manual Focus Forum

I have no experience of those lenses but with my Peleng, Rubinar and Tair the mount can be removed and replaced with a standard T mount. You remove the inner thread from the T mount and you find you have a Russian mount.
My mate uses his Peleng on his Canon with a standard Canon T mount and my three mentioned lenses are all fitted with PK T mounts and focus as they should do. The Peleng is actually supplied with a Nikon mount and M42 mount and they are the same as a T mount (with inner thread removed)

All T mounts are similar but when the inner thread is removed there are a few inner machining differences. Out of the dozen or so I have only 2 have not been the same as the Russian mount.
Remove the three screws on the outside of the T mount and the inner thread should drop out, it should then be the same as fitted to your Russian lens. Present Mount to lens and replace the three screws but dont fully tighten. When the lens is on the camera turn it so it is in the correct position and fully tighten your three screws.
The Russians rarely invented something new if they could rip off an existing design that was cheap.
