Leica M6 + Jupiter 8

[senorcoconut]

hello,

i've been thinking about purchasing a leica M6 for some weeks now and since i still have my grandpa's old russian jupiter 8 lens (50mm/2) i wanted to know how good it is on a M6.i know i'll have to use an adapter since it has a screw mount.
anyone has some pics with that combination?


cheers

Just search flickr for Jupiter 8. It won't get any better, just because it sits on a M6.

I used it on a M2, needless to say it doesnt perform any different then on any other camera be it fed2 or bessa r. Just try it out.

welcome to the forum - using a $20 lens on a $1000 body is what we are all about 😀

I use a J8 on an M2 and an M6.

Aside from the sheer coolness of the price differential (the M6 cost me 1200x what I spent on the J8), I really like the lens and that's why I use it.

I've used mine on my M6TTL and M7. If you have a good one it will look as good as it does on a Zorki. Mine seems like an excellent lens and I've had no focus issues with Leica bodies.
