I did it again

I found a 1958 Kiev Jupiter-12 produced by Arsenal on the *bay, from the guy who sold me the wonderful Jupiter-3... the J-12 seems to have the "biogon style" rear element... so I couldn't resist!

Item here : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7595758676&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1


🙄 another lens on its way! I think I might put my black J-12 on sale as well... btw no-one is interested in my 300mm Pentacon-6 lens? 😉 *needs to raise up some cash* :angel:


Another thing, related to Kiev (and other brand) cameras, check well on the *bay, there are people selling "kiev II" or no-name "kiev II contax jena" cameras, be sure to check well the bottom pic of these cameras, as they are often Kiev-4A ... never hesitate to ask here for help!

We'll see, Frank! This seller has sent me a very neat J-3 recently. Hopefully this lens will do it too! I'm really unstoppable and subject to frequent GAS!

Yeah, a lovely term it is, but an expensive one! I've got to sell my 4.5/300 Meyer Optik Telemegor in order to purchase a 4/300 Sonnar in P6 mount. Realizing how much my passion costs me every month (i'm not even talking about development and film costs), it was time to do something.

After a long talk with my father, I think I'll take up some of my free time to work with him on his import/export company. That should be helpful. I never did until now (except web design) but it's time to move onto greater things. 🙂
