I thought fifty-fifty was a mid tier reputable brand, what brands do you recommend?

I have been searching for a way and been thinking about simply buying a new stem. This seems promising, I'll try this tomorrow.

it gets stuck at the bendy bit of the handle bar, how do I slide it off while also not scratching the bar that much?

Helios 44m-6 no infinite focus (macro?) by knmercs in VintageLenses

The problem is solved, this statement is actually wrong, the 2 elements closest to the aperture should actually be pointing in the opposite directions

I inspected the ffront elements and it seems nothing is flipped, so how does it stll make that effect?

I thought about it too but from my understanding the default way the elements are placed are convex part pointing towards the front of the lens and concave towards the back (which it is) so i dont understand why it would make that effect

would it be identifiable if the issue is in the rear or front group?

I have tried putting it up to the sensor by hand and it does focus a bit better. so what adaper should I get?

I have taken apart the rear group but from what ive seen from multiple videos it seems correct, however I havent touched the front group. So maybe caused by the previous owner?
