Shhhh keep the russian secret under wraps they are all very poor and bad lenses, well at least untill i own them all.
I have an Industar 69 making its way to me soon along with the Jupiter 9 to test.
I really do like my russian glass, I need or want to find a Jupiter 37a to match my jupiter 11a.


But i really do like the images produced by this lens and should be used in a travel brochure as others have said

Brave man Attila. Ireland escaped the worst of the frost and snow this time around. The UK and rest of Europe not so lucky! Great set of images from you and your Russian lens as usual!

We were lucky we have real snow only in media, they made attraction from -10 C + some snow.

Attila I think you mistyped the lens, the Jup-8 is a 50/2

Gorgeous pics!
Lens performance at its best, seems to cope quite well with the NEX-3!

Beautiful pictures Attila.

A question : first time I hear about a Kiev/Contax mount.
Is it a rangefinder mount ?
I suppose it doesn't work on 5DMkII ?
