Great series, but #9 is truly remarkable! Great lens which I have too, made by KOMZ in 1963. But your version is clearly older?

#2, #9 and #10 are great, I like the colours, sharpness and contrast.
This lens shines.
It seems to be a very good combo with the G1.

Attila, I wonder if the lens block is Zeiss? I recently saw a Jupiter 9 (1952). The seller disassemble it and showed Zeiss etching on inner housing of lens block. Have you disassembled this lens, or do you believe that it could be some of the original glass from Germany? Thanks.

Early lenses right after war made by Zeiss people from Zeiss glass in captivity from 1945 to 195x I don't know how many years , months run production from Zeiss glass I look always lenses close to end of war as possible. I didn't open any of my RED P lens due all was in great condition. Seems old photographer here did know something, due they kept in bigger respect this lenses than others, usually I find them in better shape than black ones.

Is that the "bling" version or standard?
