This is an image out of my old Pixii A1571 with a '57 KMZ Jupiter 8. This is a wonderful example of what the FSU KMZ factory could do. This is a good lens. As for the photo, yes, the WB is off. Try to look past that.

Comedians. Kiev-4, Jupiter-8M

Early 1952 J-8, on the Nikon Z5. Close-stop screw was missing, now focuses much closer than standard. Maybe 0.65m?

Standard 0.9m



New close-focus...

This may not be a very good photo. And it may not be interesting. But it does show what an old FSU J8 can do with color, light and image. 1957 KMZ Jupiter-8.

I did it specifically on one lens, yes, about 0.5-0.6 m

I bought a Contax to Sony FE adapter from the guy in Ukraine who makes them out of Kiev lens mounts. He included the Jupiter-8 that came with the donor camera, and I've used it a bit, it's quite nice and of course very similar to the F2 Sonnar.

bokeh in the corners my make eyes hurt, it's a '59 lens so "should" be good, but instead it has triangles in the corners.

I have no experience posting in forums, learning as I go.
The image I tried to post was taken 8/1/25, with a Canon L2 and a Jupiter 8
