Morning all...

I spent Saturday clearing through my house to make room for some new (and large!) equipment that's arriving Monday, and as a result find myself looking at a large pile of things I own but never use.

One of these is a Jupiter-8 50/2 lens I picked up online about 8 months ago for a few bucks. I don't have an adapter so have never even fitted it to my R3M.

It's chrome, minor marks on glass, apeture opens/closes freely and the focus ring turns smoothly. No clicks on the apeture adjustment (I presume that's how they were made?).

First to post a pic of your RF with coffee and today's Sunday newspaper (showing the date) gets the lens. I'll bubble-wrap and post, no catches.

Restriction - open to Australians only, sorry to others (to keep the postage reasonable).

Why? Feeling content and happy, realising recently how lucky I have been, and inspired by the recent "Win a Gordy Wrist Strap" contest here about 3 weeks ago. Hopefully whoever wins will actually use the lens instead of keeping it packed away as I have, and show the results so we know if it's any good or not.

Cheers...
Fergus.

Hey I've got one to give away too! Dull polished aluminium, smooth focus, stiff aperture ring, good glass. Even a lens cap (but no rear cap)! Who wants it?

This thread is showing how little I know about this lens... perhaps Peter's is 'dull aluminium' too and not chrome??? 😱
