I have a jupiter-3 on the way and need an adapter for my nex5n. Can anyone recommend a specific adapter for the Contax/Kiev bayonet mount?

I was thinking about this one but not sure if it's the correct adapter.

Thanks for the link. Do you know if there is a less expensive option? the adapter is more than the lens :/

I know it may be to late, but perhaps someone else will be interested.
There is a way to use the adapter you mentioned in the firs posting - but there's a bit of DYI to do...
I managed to make such a DIY Kiev - Nex adapter. It doesn't look much, but works fine:




and a picture taken with Helios-103:


I used a cheap Kiev-Nex adapter and a broken Kiev camera. I unscrewed the top plate from the adapter and installed a dismatled Kiev mount instead. As I wrote above - it works, not perfectly (allows focusing past infinity and there is no stop to prevent the lens form falling out of the adapter), but good enough for me.
