J-12 on a V1-T ?

[Brad Bireley]

Will a Jupiter-12 work on a Canon V1-T?
Thanks,
Brad

it works ok on mine, but on some, the big rear end of the J 12 can hit the internal baffles of the VIT.
first time, by looking at the open camera from the back,
it is best to keep the shutter open on B while slowly threading the J 12 lens as you look to see if the big rear end is going to scrape the baffles or not.

I think it depends. I had a J-12 and VI-T combo that didn't work together. The baffle in the Canon fouled the lens, if memory serves.
