Recently on Ebay, I won bid on a 1959 Kiev 4 with a 1976 Jupiter-8. About a week later, I won a bid on a 1963 Jupiter-3. The Kiev 4 bid ended on Sept. 10th, the Jupiter-3 bid eneded on Sept. 18 and was shipped the 19th. I received the Jupiter-3 yesterday, and I'm still waiting on the Kiev.

I thought it was funny that I've gotten the lens before the camera and also, that's the fasted I've ever gotten a package from the Ukraine, a week to get to the Detroit-area is pretty quick, IMO.

At least the Jupiter-3 is in really great shape, a few cleaning marks on the front element, but no scratches, included both caps and the case. I am surprised how small it is compared to the I-26M and 61 L/D for my FED. It seems tiny in comparison.
 
Well when you have several items on transit to you, Murphy's laws tell they will probably arrive in a somewhat fun manner, fun to Murphy, of course, not to you :)

I still remember how I had three different parcels from different locations at different times that arrived all together. The poor post girl at work almost couldn't carry them all !

Good luck ! And sort of a late welcome ! :)

PS: great avatar !
