The Tair-11 is normally a lens for SLR cameras. Which camera is it for?

for a Zenit TTL.

I never owned on myself, but one of my friends used a lens like that for many years. The results are quite sharp with good saturated colors. I would say that a price around 35-40 £ would be reasonable if the lens is in good condition, maybe a bit more if it is in mint condition.

Why are you asking the question on a RF forum?
I have one. It is a good lens but very heavy. A reasonable price would be 30-40 USD. The Jupiter-37A 135mm f/3.5 is more compact and better in my opinion. Both have pre-set diaphragms. There are plenty of 135mm lenses with auto diaphragms, available cheaply, which would fit the TTL.
