Hi,

I finaly managed to fix the problem with aperture on this lens.

It's an early Jupiter-3, transition between the ZK and Jupiter-3. It has the "ears" and the copper nose of the ZK, so maybe glasses are also from Zeiss.
The glass are not in mint condition, and namering suffered from very nervous ex-owner, but it doesn't interfer with the IQ.
Here is the lens :


And some photos :

I have a early J-3 and a pre-war Zeiss Sonnar and judging by these samples, I'd say yours performs as good as both, and to be honest the only difference I have ever found is the Sonnar is a tiny bit sharper wide open.

Certainly. I'm interested to know if it's zeiss only for historical concerns. If it make it more or less sharp is not a big deal for me. Smile

Nice pictures . I like very mich the one with the pigeons and the man.
How can you adapt this Kiev mount to your A7 and focus?

Very nicely captured.
Well done.
I am particularly interested in why the driverless Mercedes truck is not touching the ground and seems to have left no tyre prints.
Very interesting
OH

I do adapters from Kiev cameras. Here is one : https://pp.vk.me/c621328/v621328486/2990/dkuEXrSoeYA.jpg

You also can find such adapters on ebay.

That's a good question Shocked
Well, It has been here for some days, so maybe the wind/rain has erased the prints.

It sitting on supports - so yes tyres are not touching ground. I guess that it is some kind of small crane.

Anyway - great photos that drive me towards getting sonnar or jupiter-3.
