Looking for:
Jupiter-9, Helios 40-2, or nikkor or canon or OM or pentax

Hi hoanpham,

I have a black Jupiter 9 ( M42 ) for sale.
Glass is very clean, no scratches, almost no dust, looks mint. Wide open it does glow, stopped down it is extremely sharp.
Mechanically very good.
Cosmetically near mint besides some paint scratched off around one screw on the focus barrel, this screw had been missing and I scratched the paint when I put it.
prize is 95 Euro including caps and case, excluding sending cost.

Ya, silly me Smile
It's for my cousin, who sold all his canon gear and ordered the nex7, and still wait for it.
His first MF lens Smile I have few spare pentax that can sent to him too.

Thanks Andreas,
I just sent a PM to you.
If the lens is good. I may keep it and give him something else Laughing

I'll definitely keep the Helios 40-2

Edit: He ordered the samyang85/1.4 for use with his nex7.
I am still want the Helios 40-2, prefer M42, but any mount available with nex adapter is ok.

I am looking for defect, very cheap lenses resp. the following optical parts:

Pentax M f1.4/50mm, looking for the 4th, the cemented element
MC-Rokkor PF f1.4/58mm, looking for the single rear element

well, I know it's unlikely I'll get these parts, but who knows, maybe I am lucky Smile
