Good video mr! i maked comment about this before. I repaired my 44m -4 using a spring, the default spring that responsible for the opening is so old, for this don't work good. For repair i put a normal spring for make reverse of the ring and fastened with the screw of the case. Now work great. Haha

Great video as always. Do you recommend greasing the screws before you put them in to prevent seizings?

Thank you! No, this is not necessary

One of the two pins in the rear of the lens is, as you said, the ordinary M42 aperture pushing pin. But I have long wondered which camera the other rear pin is made for... do you know?

Yes, Zenit TTL for example
