All hands on deck... I need your help! Lens emergency!

[froyd]

Since you guys landed me in this soup, I need your help getting me out of it🙂. After a little lurking on RFF, I ended up ordering a camera from Cameraquest - which should be here shortly - but I'm lenseless.

I only have 7 days before leaving the country for a little vacation, and I need to land an Industar 61 or Jupiter 8 (yes, cost is a factor) in that timeframe so ordering from the Ukraine or Russia is not an option. Is there any place that stocks CCCP lenses in the US? I've scanned Ebay and various photo forums for FSU lenses from US sellers, but I want to make sure I'm covering all my options.

http://www.fedka.com/catalog/ He's got both in stock. He costs more, but is well worth it for the level of service he gives.

I'll second the recommendation to check with Fedka. He has given me excellent service.

I have an all black Jupiter 8 that I was just about to put in the classifieds, along with a bunch or FSU cameras and other things. I bought it last year from a dealer in Russia, but haven't used it, so I figure it needs to go.

It's in very good condition and the optics are clean and clear. Aperture is nice and smooth, no oil.

It looks to be worth about $25 + shipping more or less. PM if you are interested.

If you have got an R or a L, then you are set. Otherwise (you have an M mount body) you will need an adapter also. No big shakes which one as all Bessas have manual viewfinder frame switching.
