M9 Alive and ....well- Post Your Pics Here!

[Derek Leath]

Brian,
Can you send me more info on this set up. I have a few CZ Jena lenses I would love to try on my M9

 

[WJJ3]

I came over here to post a recent one from my M9 and saw that the current theme is Sonnar. Cool to see your Sonnar on M9 shots guys...
I don't have a good shot that shows off the Sonnar-y qualities of my Nikkor-H, but will try to shoot one or three soon.


From a day earlier this year:

A late Valdai Jupiter-3, wide-open after rebuilding it.

I'll post a thread on the DIYS forum for this one. It would not focus to infinity- required the mount to be ground down and the helical screwed in deeper.
Worth the Effort!

A company in the UK now offers this as a service.
This particular lens- was like Wax Paper when I got it, had never been opened. It is one of the earliest that can be converted with a J-3 mount. Nickel finish, 1934 manufacture date.

I had to get the new Nokton to go with it.

Rarity fair?
I have I26/J8 lens.

Some images taken with it today:

 

[Sonnar Brian]

Someone is buying up I26 focus mounts and putting Contax mount J-8 and J-8M into them, I have one and worked on another. Mine was spot-on, but a second was sent to me had to be totally rebuilt, I put in new optics.

I picked up several Tabbed I-26's, some subtle differences in the construction- found them quite good after cleaning and adjusting.

But these- with the new Nokton 50/1.5.
