Jupiter 9 pictures

[santino]

some Jupiter 9 pictures, did CLA and wanted to try if I reassambled it properly (well, it seems to work out 🙂)

the J9 is a fantastic lens, it's bokeh is great, it's sharp and now it's even smooth 🙂
people, get yourself a J9, one of the finest lenses IMO.

Looks like an excellent lens. I especially like your first shot.

I enjoyed the pics-good composition and exposure. Did you have any problem adjusting the J9 to focus with your camera? I have heard this is sometimes a problem for non Russian -made Rf's.

Cool! I've got a stiff J9 waiting for new lube. I'm encouraged. Now to get some decent screwdrivers...

thanks for sending me the lens photo btw 🙂 It gives me the will to go out with my J-9, for a change 🙂 I hoped the weather would be sunny like yesterday, but it seems we'll get rain all week here 🙁

Nice shots, the J9 gives fine results and is a real bargain of a lens. Of course, some re-assembly may be required.

thanks!

I had no problems using it on my Fed 5B (it's a damn ugly camera but it works perfectly).
the J9 is becoming my favourite russian lens 🙂

Great shots Santino, I liked most the first one.

nice photos, Santino. I especially like the one with the steps. I have a J9 in Contax/Kiev mount and really like the performance, and since it was made for the Kiev, it did not require any shimming to correct the focus. Bought mine on eBay for $65, and it only needed a re-lube of the focusing ring.
