Looking for a Leica clone?

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.
