FSU lenses on R3A?

[ITD]

Are all the screw thread Jupiter / Industar lenses capable of use on a Bessa R3A (with M adapter), or are there some which are not advised?

The J-12 (35/2.8) is not recommended, because its large rear element will hit the front shutter of the R3. But apart from that, I don't know of any others that give problems.

You need to be wary of the collapsible ones as well. They can be used though not fully collapsed. I think some people put a collar around to stop them going too far back and hitting the second curtain.

Thanks! I liked the look of the results from the J8 on my Kiev so much, I've ordered one for my Bessa.

What about a Superangular f3.4 21mm, will it work?
