Found this in a local advert!

Jupiter-9 85/2 (M42)
Jupiter-6 180/2.8 (M42)

Looks promising.

I tried to win the Jupiter-6 a couple of times, but now that I have such a glorious copy of the 2.8/180 Jena, I have lost some interest. But should it appear again at a good price I will give it another try.

Found this on the net

The Jupiter-6 is the Russian copy of the famous Carl Zeiss Sonnar 180 f2.8. It is not a M42 mount but a M39, but it can be used on M42 mount cameras and adapters with a small ring adapter.. The Jupiter 6-2 is the black M42 version which some later samples feature multi-coating.

I know it's rare, but optically speaking it's a copy of the Sonnar.
Like I said, if I meet one at a good price, I will get it. But if I have to pay over 130 Eur like the last one I saw, I will not.

Consider that the second to last one that I saw, was sold for something like 38 Eur.
I was on it, and I could have gotten it, but just that day I received bad news from the fiscal office, so I decided to let it go, because i had to pay almost 1000 Euros of more taxes.
After months the bad news were discovered as an error, and so I got a refund in the last days. The sum that I could use for the lenses last Sunday.
So I can not complain, after all.

I've got an M42 J-6, which I bought from eBay for 86 Euros + postage. It is a nice lens but very heavy, almost 1.5 kilos. See http://galactinus.net/vilva/retro/eos350d_jupiter-6.html

Photographers in Russia must be very strong and tough, having to carry all these heavy lenses around. It would be fun to work out the weight of their camera bag if they packed all the lenses they needed for a day's shooting! Smile

It's a beauty. Of it's own aesthetical canon, obviously. But still a remarkably beautiful piece of manufacture.
I think of it as the modern-day Bronzi di Riace Very Happy
Whereas a slender lens such as the Jupiter-37 could be the equivalent of the David by Donatello Very Happy

And this thread is the beginning of a long period of raising prices for this lens. Very Happy I'll put that on my list.

There is one at ebay but I wouldn't post the link because I hate sellers with shipping costs of more than 50 USD and don't want to assist them.

It's a beutiful lens. Never heard of it.
Like Veijo said, considering its wheight, it's a lens for bodybuilders.

The one Michael hinted to, is a black version, Jupiter-6-2, with M42 native mount.
I personally prefer the silver version, from an aesthetical point of view, although it has the M39 mount.

I agree with Orio. Old silver lenses are amazing looking I like more better than others.

My silver one is a native M42 mount, at least, seems to be.

Oh my God!
This lens is huge!

Actually, if you look at the linked pictures, the bokeh is not that great, is it?

I guess this is a lens that is used to shock anybody around, more than anything else... Wink

Personally, I find it very beautiful, and I would surely love to have an aluminium one in my collection.
So Veijo should you one day decide to sell it... Wink
