I sell my Jupiter-8 2/50
50mm f/2 lens in Leica threadmount (L39)
This is a very sharp lens that is a Soviet copy of the famous Zeiss Sonnar 2/50 for Contax rangefinder.

This lens is compatible with all L39 rangefinder cameras, and, with adapters (not included), with M bayonet rangefinder cameras (Leica, Viogtlaender), with Micro4/3 cameras, and with Sony/Samsung mirrorless cameras.

Marketplace link: http://www.mflenses.com/mfl-ebay/Jupiter-8-50mm-f-2-L39-lens.html

Price is 25 Eur, with a 5 Eur discount if you pay with bank transfer.

Hi Orio,

The lens is quiet small right? What is it like compared to the Oly Pen 38mm f1.8 (or other standard lens) in terms of size and sharpness?

I will take it if it is still available. But I will come back to you tomorrow if that is ok with you.

Thanks,
Simon

If this can help with understanding how the lens is... it is a Sonnar type, so imagine a 50mm lens with the sonnar type of bokeh (quieter than the typical double gauss 50mm)

Here is a series of full frame and crops with the J-8 used on the Leica M9
These were my first days with the M9 so I did not adjust the colours well in Lightroom yet, and they seem a bit strange... just ignore colours and look at the optical sharpness:

Hi Orio,

Cheers for the info. The J-8 LTM mount can be easily adapted for use on my Panny G1 right?

Thanks,
Simon

I don't know, Simon. For sure the distances are compatible. But you need to ask the G1 experts if a L39 to G1 adapter is produced.

I'm fed up with Paypal, so does "bank transfer" work? is it safe? is that what the banks call "wire transfer"?

Thanx

I think safe and yes bank call it wire transfer, look it's cost first , international wire transfer either can be cheap and very expensive too, depend from banks.

Bank transfer / IBAN cost nothing from Ireland to anything within the EU. I have done this many times.

Looks like an L39 to M4/3 is available:

Hi Orio,

Sorry about all the hassle. Its seems that I am having trouble getting in touch with you. Must be either yours or my email trouble.

Rgds,
Si.
