Before putting a notice in the relevant Classifieds section,I was wondering if anyone might be looking to sell (or part trade for 120 film and/or some SLR bits)) a clean screw mount Jupiter 8--either chrome or black would be fine.
I'm in the UK,so bearing postage in mind UK or EU would probably make sense,but not exclusively.Feel free to let me know.Thanks,

Cheers,:)

The lens Rob refers to is made by KMZ, which is one of the better plants of FSU lenses.
 
FYI, I bought one of these in minty condition via eBay for around $45. It's a great piece of inexpensive glass. You can't beat it for the price. However, do a search here on RFF to see some of the pitfalls with these so far as condition. Mine was from a seller in the US and worked fine right out of the box. The one I have is more less identical to the one for sale here. Great little lens.
 
A nice black J8 is soon to be with me.:)

I plan to use it on the first ever camera that I owned that had shutter speeds and lens aperture settings,and which in the mid '80's opened my eyes to picture taking ---The Fed 4 (b).:)

That solid, rocklike,and in my experience reliable,but somewhat disregarded 'ugly Betty' of the FSU rangefinder catalogue.

All the very best to everyone,for Christmas and for 2010!!:)

Cheers,
Brian.

Hi Brian,
Do you have any Nikon SLR stuff? I've got a very nice J-8. Glass is clean and unscratched. The body has a few scuffs, but operates perfectly.
