hello NG, this is my first topic here

anyone can guess that what lense they are

The rabbit ears with holes indicate it's two AI/Ais or AI-converted lenses
The position of the AI coupling ridge is at the 8+2/3 position , so these lenses are either f:1.8 or f:2 lenses max aperture

Max aperture of 1.8 or 2 leaves us with a 50mm as the most probable choice for both lenses

The lens on the R has three screws, so it's possibly the 50mm/1.8 AIS produced around 1982
The lens on the L has five screws, so it's possibly the 50mm/2 AIS produced around 1977


What did I win, a cigar?

I don't think any of the lenses are AIS as the milled slot is missing so a camera like the FA could recognize the lens and use its special Program mode?

[Ian Watson]

The AI coupling ridge is wider on the lens on the right. So f/2.8? In which case we might speculate a 35mm f/2 or a 50mm f/1.8 and a 24mm f/2.8.

I'll settle for a jelly baby.

thanks for joining this game, you are almost there, but not the correct answer

ture, the AIS and AI lens

you can identify them from the crew numbers, the milled slot and the width of silver ring and  the rabbit ear (folded/sheet metal or milled metal type) and...

These are either Ai or AI-converted lenses.  Might be 50/2 (left) and 35/2.8 (right), perhaps?

on the subject of new toys, I found an M42 mount Meyer Primotar E/ "red V" 50/3,5 on a local market yesterday and could not resist picking up this late Tessar copy. No guessing games needed for identifying the constuction (aperture close to the rear lement like a reversed Elmar).

Not very high contrast even with its unusual  focussing-aiding extra aperture opening beyond 3,5 (when closed down to f/8 afterwards.) but robust mechanics even if not of Nikon smoothness.

this lens impressed  me much when you see the image qulity at corner when fully open

[bressong]

the clear edge light spot in the bokeh is the feature of this lens
