Hi Guys,


I picked up a Jupiter 8 kiev contax 50mm f/2 range lens for my Epl2. I picked it up for £2 but am struggling to find an adapter for it. I'm pretty new to the manual lens scene and would appreciate a point in the right direction.

Thanks

Inner adapter Kiev/contax->M4/3 are quite rare or expensive (compared to other adapters). For Jupiter-8, you need the adapter with focus ring. Here is an exemple : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kiev-Contax-Nikon-RF-inner-mount-adapter-to-micro-4-3-Panasonic-Olympus-/360686669286?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53fa99cde6

owch... so it will be cheaper to just buy another lens that would fit a cheaper adapter.

Something like? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Russian-Jupiter-8-lens-L39-thread-mount-50-2-Leica-Zorki-Canon-Fed-etc-/310708103524

Yes, if not willing to take other lenses, best if you buy lens with M39 end, if you willing to take series of Contax/KIEV/Nikon lenses better to buy expensive adapter, due M39 mount lense are pricely vs Contax mount.
