Lens Adjustment

[Bob L]

Just purchased a Jupiter 11 135 mm lens for use with my Zorki's and fed"s , One of the note's on the sellers page says " Len adjustment may be required to be in according with camera rangefinder", has anyone have had to have this adjustment made and if so what does it entail.
This Russian camera stuff is like eating potato chips, you just cant buy one or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 , it just keeps going on and on and on.

I think that is a nice way of saying "Well, this here lens was taken apart and Bubba is not too sure he got it all put back together kerrectly."

Agree with phototone's diagnosis there. But hey, hook it up, throw a roll in it and see how it shoots. Chances are, it could be fine as is. That type of note I've seen before and basically signifies: "Buyer beware - No guarantees," but doesn't necessarily guarantee there's a problem either.

Good luck and let us know how it works out. If there is a problem, I've seen threads here discussing it and we could probably search it out if needed.
