Thank you guys so much for the quick replies! :)

How many m.m. do you think needs to be sawed off?

I'm trying to use the lens on a Nikon D90 body with an M42 adaptor that retains the infinity focus (somewhat) - I already have a bleeding finger from trying to unscrew the lens from the M42 adaptor ;(

I just stepped into the DSLR world from my little point and shoot so please excuse my questions if they are common knowledge. I did google around a lot but didnt find any answers except here in this forum.

Best Regards,
Hari

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the invaluable info. One question though - how on earth do you grind the lens to get rid of the problem? :confused:

My lens seems to have been made in 1985 going by the serial number - 8510731. It is the 44-3 MC version made in the Krasnogorsk plant.

I tried uploading some pix but kept getting a pop-up saying its a security code error so i'm linking back to my dropbox:
