I just my parcel today. It was from no-X. It was packed nicely with box and bubble wrap. Here are some photos of the lens.





Its a pity that I got the wrong lens. It does not work with my D70. Sad

This is a rangefinder lens, how could you think it would work on your Nikon DSLR?
If you asked us before hand, we would have informed you.

You'll need a Fed or similar to go with it then Wink

If it's any consolation you are not the only one to have made this sort of mistake. One of my first MF lenses was a nice looking silver Jupiter 9. The advertisement said something like "....for Zorki....". But I didn't know the difference between Zorki and Zenit !

Look for the light my friend. This may be the snowball that starts an avalanche.
This lens is a very capable shooter. It should inspire you to try and find a nice and always cheap RF body.
RF photography is very satisfying and you should give it a go with this Gem Smile
It looks perfect. A functional Fed body is less than eu50.
Don't despair.....go shopping Very Happy

You can use the lens on DSLR, but as a close-up lens. I have both Jupiter-3 50/1.5 and Jupiter-8 50/2.0 and I use them for this purposes. They give excellent results if bokeh is more important, than per-pixel sharpness. Both of them are based on Zeiss Sonnar concept and both of them can produce nice Sonnarish bokeh:

I took these two shots today with Jupiter-3 at f/3.2 or f/4:
