Hiya, I'm watching this lens on Ebay. Its got 1 hours 20 mins to go and its currently on £53. Is that about the going rate, cheap or a bit on the steep side 
Also it says there is some oil on the blades but is totally manual so i'm guessing thats ok 
Thanks in advance

It'll probably go for a bit more than that unless it's disguised in the auction - I sold one of mine recently for not a lot more than this which I thought was fair, but I've seen them up over £100.00 too, so difficult to accurately price this beauty. Wouldn't worry too much about the oil either, it's pretty commonplace and won't be a problem.
Just PMed you with a question about your locality - I'll be there Saturday and Sunday shooting a food festival

I know which auction you mean  It seems OK, yet the description is rather brief. Oil on aperture blades is normal for pre-set lenses; my older Jupiter has it, too. The new MC one does not.

Cheers Aoleg, your right about the description, talk about brief, hope if I actually win it then its all ok, I'm getting fed up returning lenses for fungus or hazy optics when they're described as mint

You might have a look @ Fedka.com, they have one going for $105 usd. There is a bit of confusion in the ad woridimg regarding the mount. They can't seem to decide whether it is Zenit M39 vs M42. |

I've bought from Fedka before. Yuri is an incredibly pleasant and professional person to deal with but the website can sometimes be confusing. What he has may not correspond to what is pictured. I would recommend just emailing him and seeing what types of Jupiter 9s he has. No doubt he has more than that one. |

The Jupiter J9 prices have risen sharply over the last decade. At the start of the century you would get them for very low prices, I've obtained a few either on Ebay or fleamarkets (albeith in Eastern Europe) for around 20 Euro. But the cheap ones are gone for a long time allready so anything between 50 and 100 Euro seems to be a good pricerange. |

The focus on this lens can indeed get quite stiff, but it can be fixed by relubing. |

It's not tacksharp but great for moody portraits. Remember that it's designed as a portrait lens, not as a macro lens. |
