One more lens!

Jupiter 37A M42
- Zeiss Sonnar copy, 12 blades (round aperture)
- version with better coating (CCCP quality mark) - deep purple + golden reflections
- super smooth focusing
- blades are fine
- very clean optics (no fungus, haze, scratches or cleaning marks, some dust particles)
- barrel like new, not any single scratch on finish!

IMPORTANT: The lens was adjusted to focus beyond infinity. This can be interesting for Nikon users (infinity without optical adapter).

despite the mentioned adjustment, the lens is amazingly sharp copy, even wide-open and I can't see any single sign of CA:

wide-open shot (overcast sky):

€26 + shipping

----------------------------

Meyer Görlitz Oreston 50/1.8
M42, auto "zebra", 6 blades

€22 + shipping

Barrel in exc. condition, blades are snappy, no oil, focusing is uniform, precise and very smooth. No fungus, no scratches, no cleaning marks, a few dust particles.

Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 58/2
M42, semi-auto (Praktica FX3) version, 10 blades

€51 + shipping

Barrel in exc. condition, no oxidation, only significant ding on filter ring. Semi-auto aperture system works, focusing is uniform and precise, but not as like new (relubing will help, but isn't necessary). No fungus, no scratches, some minor cleaning marks, some dust particles.

I have some russian lenses, too:

ZOMZ MIR-1 37/2.8 "Grand Prix Brussels 1958" (M42, pre-set, 10 blades (round iris), copy of Zeiss Flektogon)
KMZ Helios 44M 58/2 (M42, A/M, 8 blades, copy of Zeiss Biotar)
KMZ TAIR 135/2.8 (M42, pre-set, 20-blades (round iris))
JOV Helios 44M-4 58/2 (M42, auto, 6 blades, copy of Zeiss Biotar)

If interested, send me PM.

I accept PAYPAL (+3%) / MoneyBookers (+1%) / bank transfer

Biotar, Oreston, MIR and TAIR are reserved for now.

The Biotar is the semi-auto version (exactly the same as this one), which is not very comfortable to use on DSLR. If the body is not able to press aperture pin during exposition, the aperture values must be set manualy while pressing the aperture ring every-time you want change aperture value.

There is a significant ding on filter-ring and the optics has some cleaning marks and dust.

Both Helios lenses are still available (€15 per lens), 44M-4 is like new, 44M has not entirely uniform focusing, but in all other aspects is like new.

//edit: one note about the infinity focus - on standard M42 body (45,5mm):
if you set 1,2m, the lens focuses to 1,5m
at 7m the lens focuses to infinity
at 8m or more the lens focuses beyond infinity

on Nikon body the lens should be able to reach infinity without problem

This is just a big public THANK YOU to no-X for his very efficient service - my lenses arrived this morning, and they're both exactly as described. Actually, they're better than described because they're in my hands now and not on a screen anymore!!!

Thanks again - and for anybody else looking to deal with this member, go for it - he's fair and efficient, courteous and professional Wink
