Yes - mine's black old style. I haven't got round to swapping mounts so haven't used it yet. I'll post a picture of it tommorrow if I remember.

Here's mine a quick shot before I swapped the mount over last night. although it's not the Jupiter11A it still has the replaceable A Mount if that makes sense! I've managed to get a 40.5mm cap for it so I'll put it through it's paces soon. Seems well enough built but the rings on mine are very loose, the aperture more than the focus.

Thank you guys I thought this one, I was curious how rare I didn't see often. Just once a year on Ebay.

I just have read on Flickr that the Jupiter-11 is a radioactive lens!!
Does anybody know about this? (I've also got a silver copy.)

Yes, it is price less, even if rare as many Russian lens.
Carsten, I don't think so this is radioactive lens.

This isn't specifically about the jupiter 11 but it does address the possibility of radiation in russian lenses (I think he measures the industar 61 L/D): http://cameras.alfredklomp.com/fed5/radiation/

I honestly don't think the jupiter would be radioactive since I've never heard of the incorperation of 'rare earth elements' into the glass.
