Decided to keep it after all, even if it was not in excellent condition like the eBay description said. Still takes sharp pictures.
I still don't know what the H-30 stands for, nobody seems to know. Oh well it makes it a more rare version I guess. 
All shot wide open.
Didn't even see the ant when I took this shot.

A slightly more interesting subject this time, followed it for 10 minutes or so. Only the last shot was spot on with the focus, all the others are a little bit off, oh well. First time trying to take photos of insects. Next time.
Only cropping and resizing done.

But Jupiter 37A MC-H-30 is M42 - look at these pictures:
http://img.jvacek.com/jup37mc_005.jpg
http://img.jvacek.com/jup37mc_006.jpg
I think it could mean version of the MC layers, but it's just a guess...

Apart from "H" Jupiters, there are also "H" Mir and other russian lenses. The "H" in cyrillic is an N, standing for Nikon - just as K stands for K-mount and M for M42. |

Could be: in russian "neutral density filter" also begins with an "H": нейтральный фильтр плотност. But you explain the coincidence that all russian lenses with an "H" in their denomination (Mir, Helios, Arsat, Granit, you name it) have a Nikon mount. Nikon the only russian lens mount with an ND filter?  |

These letters have some special order. The "H" means Nikon mount, but only if the letter is written after the number, e.g. MIR-24H. This is not the case. This lens isn't Jupiter-37H (that would mean Nikon mount), but Jupiter-37A MC-30-H, so the "30-H" is definetely related to the MC.
The order of the letters really has some meaning. E.g. Helios-44M-4 means Helios 44 for M42 mount, 4th version. But Helios-44-3M doesn't mean Helios 44 for M42 mount, 3rd version, but Helios 44, 3rd version, Macro.

I found an old offer (of same lens probably) here: http://www.digicamclub.de/showthread.php?t=9141
It says: focussing f:1.2-30m, infinity
Could that be it?

This is the version of the MC layer, but not classic 37AM, but the MC-37A H-30. It is a greater rarity,
37AM models are produced in the 90 to years. This comes even from 1983. |

Are you sure? Because it makes me think of my first SLR - a Zenith 3M, with a Helios 44. Had a 39X1mm thread, and I quickly discovered that there were not that many lenses to choose from (apart from rthe Tair 300 mm). As far as the Jupiter 37A MC-30-H is concerned: things are getting curiouser and curiouser, because the C actually is an S. Unless it is in red because it stands for [foreign mode on]MultiCoated[foreign mode off] |

Helios-44-3M is macro version of Helios-44-3. It's a special M42 lens made by MMZ, its focusing part should be replaceable by a macro bellow.
