Hi there i have this lens it is in excellent condition with very little marks of use focusing ring goes nice and smooth and so is the apperture ring.
But there is a small "BUTT"
Once i shake the lens, there is some kind a sound from it like something become loose inside the lens(sounds like some lens inside). Got no idea what this can be. I did not try it with camera how it focusing as i dont have adapter.
Has anyone same experiences with same or similar problem?
I can say in piece in mind, if there will be not this sound it will be a very nice collectible lens.
Or can anyone fix this problem, or advise how to fix it?

Some of the Russian / East German stuff have a tendancy to rattle a bit. Can be infuriating at times. Did a quick search of the interweb for you:
