Seeking recommend seller: Jupiter-12 for Kiev?

[Benjamin Marks]

Even at the posted prices on e-bay, I have to say I am nervous sending money for one of these lenses sight unseen.

Any recommendations for a source for a Jupiter-12 Kiev mount (actually, I'd take LTM if the lens performed well) that is in OK shape?

Brick and mortar is fine. I checked Kiev-USA, but they didn't list the lens on their website.

So, what is the collective wisdom on a source for these lenses?

If your willing to spend a little more than ebay prices you could try Fedka.

At least you know you are buying a good lens that has been CLA'd

You might want to try Igor. He mostly sells high end gear, but his low end stuff is as described.

Yes, Fedka, don't bother with anyone else...

I got mine on ebay from seller 262igor a couple of months ago, and it was in mint shape and complete with caps and case. Haven't bought anything else from him though.

He has one now in Kiev mount for 24$, at that price it might be worth the risk.
