Ruben, I hope Comrade Zhang will forgive the intrusion, but these are respectively 135mm and 200mm lenses for M42 screw. They are still available new, along with other interesting lenses - http://www.rugift.com/photocameras/lenses.htm

Cheers, Ian

Hi Ian,

I thought Ruben wanted to know all other Jupiters that fit all types of cameras. Some interesting M42 lenses could be used on rangefinder cameras with an adaptor ring, 8mm, 16mm fisheye, 20mm wideangle,etc.But viewfinder is hard to find.

Cheers,

Zhang

Thanks Ian but the M42 mount is Evil.

Cheers,
Ruben

M42 is the best mount IMHO. They fit almost all cameras with an adaptor ring. I think Zeiss even produced some M42 lenses recently, or no?

Cheers,

Zhang

Hallo Zhang! I realised that, but I was worried that Ruben would explode unless someone told him ! I also agree with you - M42 is an excellent fitting with an unmatched variety of intriguing lenses. I'm looking forward to trying the 42mm version of the Industar 61 once i'm up and about

Cheers, Ian

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?????????????????

Dear Comrade, kindly post all info you have for Kontax M42 options. The truth is that there is an M42 with formal European award wining medal, of a focal length of 40mm or very close to that, which is the focal length I dream to have in my Kievs....

Personally, my wide angle ambitions stop at 24mm, and my tele ones have no limit, although it will be realistic to stop by 180/200. So if you know something here too, kindly gossip.


Cheers,
Ruben

Dear Ruben,

I haven't heard about a Kontax M42 lens yet, but a M39/M42 Jupiter-6 might be what you want. This is a fast 180/2.8 lens that could be used on a Zorki or Fed with a M42-M39 ring( I have such a ring ). My M42 Telemar-22A 200/5.6 is also a very sharp lens.

The resolution figures were obtained with a 120-130 lp/mm film so they are different from those Soviet specifications. J-8 resolves 39 lp/mm at center, and 24 lp/mm at edges while a Summicron resolves 50 lp/mm at center, and 27 lp/mm at edges.(quote from a Chinese book)

Cheers,

Zhang

Of the 5 or 6 Jupiter-8M lenses I've amassed, one is marked as a 53mm f/2. However, I doubt that means it is a different focal length from my other 5cm/50mm J-8M marked lenses--it just has a different marking.

Just a little correction: Fed 28mm just look as collapsible, but it is fixed

Its good to hear good things about the J3 as I have just bought one blind,
I did the same with a summarit 1.5 and was delighted with the results.
I will do some side by side photos with them both when the j3 arrives.
Has anyone got any good bright test pics i can see with the J3
