I just posted a note about a batch of Barnack-like Zorki 1 cameras on
the Russian FSU RF forum here.

Rick,
I wound up with a Jupiter 8 Contax mount lens. Will a Zorki match up with this lens or should I just pass it along?

Dave,
The Zorki are LTM mount cameras, so the Contax/Kiev mount J-8 you have will not mount on the Zorki.
It might be worth getting a Kiev camera to use this lens on.

Rob is tight, Dave.
Your lens most likely came from a Kiev originally.
The J-8M was pretty standard on the earlier Kievs,
and is my favorite user on my own Kiev II.
With a little luck you should be able to find a thread
mount J-8 to fit your camera at a reasonable price.
The J-3 Jupiter - with its 1.5 glass - is bringing the big bucks.

Afterthought - Fedka has screw mount lenses to fit your camera at prices starting in the $40 range.
