You may need Vega-11U also, because it's the cheapest but still delivers high IQ, and it's really tiny. That's my first choice for macro lens.
I also owned two Jupiter 9 (M42 and M39) copies but I was quite disappointed with the quality, they're not really sharp until f/4 and get flare very esily
How about Jupiter-3 50/1.5? I wished that I found it here but I don't see it. I'm seeking to buy this one but not much information I can get. This lens is quite rare and promising. _________________

I believe SV700 doesn't use mirrorless camera, that's why no Jupiter-3 or other RF lenses.
SV700, how did you have adapted OKS and other projector lenses to M42? _________________ Pierre

You have been unlucky, I have a Jupiter-9 and mine is plenty sharp enough wide open.
Yes they are prone to flare but a cheap hood soon fixes that. _________________ Gary

I bought one from Ukraine, one from Hong Kong, so frustrating. Anyhow, it was my favorite for a while and I already equip one with hood, it did helped. _________________

Thank you, I knew it can be adapted since it's M39. I also have few M39 lenses, they're all good. What a pity, maybe I'll try if I buy a mirrorless camera
By the way, may I ask what the colorful plastic rings attached to some of SV700's lenses are? Base on how they attached, at least they will prevent the lenses from collapsing _________________

I think it's what Klaus called "follow focus mount" . I guess it's made for make focus more smooth and easy.

You may need Vega-11U also, because it's the cheapest but still delivers high IQ, and it's really tiny. That's my first choice for macro lens.
I also owned two Jupiter 9 (M42 and M39) copies but I was quite disappointed with the quality, they're not really sharp until f/4 and get flare very esily

Thanks, I own a few more 44-2's, Very good lens (I actually own all 44 series except 44-5 and rare 44-7 not the more common 44M-7).
I really like Industar 55U (140mm) and I58 (75mm). Vegas are nice but Industars have better rendering imo.
As to Jupiter 9's I own 5 total and all of them are very good @ f2 except the new MC version which is quite soft.
Here's a shot of f2.8 I think with J9 (non MC)
Pentax K10D
Here's one at F2 (silver M39~SLR)
As pointed out, I don't use mirror-less camera, so no RF lenses.

Some I bought it that way some I used focusing helicoid and step up/down rings.
Like this one.

SV700, how did you have adapted OKS and other projector lenses to M42? |
Some I bought it that way some I used focusing helicoid and step up/down rings.

Thanks for the information about OKS lenses! I also like Industar-58U, I think I have the simpler version to adapt :
Only need helicoide (I have the same like yours on your pictures) and step-up rings. _________________ Pierre

...and from 1979 to 2015, new 40-2 are MC, I though they weren't. Both are exceptionally high quality in build and glass.
