Love this lens, Jupiter 9 LTM export version (made in the USSR on the side). My version was build in 1977 and has original lens caps (not on the picture). Soft @ f2 but not unusable, really sharp lens and great colours.
For those who don't know (or are to lazy to look it up Smile It's a 85mm f2 lens.
I bought this lens while waiting for the 85mm 1.8 from konica, but I really like and recommend it.

Now some shots made with this lens.

Thanks y'all, bought it for a nice price here in the Netherlands don't see them much on ebay and apparently the LTM versions are sharper then the m42 versions. Still want to get the J3 but just got the (excellent) konica 57 f1.2, so need to stop spending so much money Razz

I second that with the sharpness. I have both the Silver 8,5cm and a later black 85mm rangfinder lenses and I tested them against a black SLR J9 (the one that look like a tank) and both the rangefinder J9 where slightly sharper wide open compared to the slr J9.

But still, the slr version looks cooler IMO and have much better close focus than the rangfinder version Wink

The M39 version will focus to 1.15m, how close does the SLR version get?

I think (without having the lens here) 0.8m

Just checked and yes, it is 0.8m Wink
