Lens for Kiev 4

[jpa66]

I recently got a Kiev 4 with the Jupiter 8, and have run a roll of film through it ( haven't developed it yet ). I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a ( reasonably cheap ) lens that works reasonably well. I'm considering the Helios 103, after having seen the thread on this forum, but I would really like a wide angle lens.

Any good lenses out there, especially in wide angle, that I can play with on this fine Soviet camera?

The Helios 103 is a good normal lens with slightly more contrast than the J8. For wide angle, look for a Jupiter 12 (35mm/f2.8) in Kiev mount. For the J12 you will need a 35mm view finder which slips into the flash bracket.
