Always with the Russians....

Got some interesting ones today...and went way over any sort of budget I was going for...

Uncommon Industar 22 for zenit. These are difficult to find and for $25 I was willing to give it a good home. I'd be interested in how it performs next to my 2 industar 50-2s.
Click here to see on Ebay

And from Fedka.com:

I'm not sure why this was only $45. I've never really dealt with fedka before. I hope everything works out OK. In any case, Jupiters have been getting ridiculous lately and it's a lens I've wanted (especially the chrome version) since I started this whole using/collecting debacle.

Hopefully I'll get samples of both up soon!

A great find for the Jupiter 9, Zenit 39M mount by their description too.

Sorry, it looks as if the j-9 entry has been removed....

I got the Jupiter 9 from Fedka today!!! I got an especially rare version from 1961. A SLR lens with the KMZ symbol is almost impossible to find.
Here it is on my Flickr:

I am aware of them. I don't think I've dealt with them personally though.

I received the Industar 22 today. I'll make sure to post a photo tomorrow sometime. The serial number reads: 505500 (great number, right?!) This one doesn't seem to follow the traditional serial number pattern since the Zenit SLR prototypes didn't come out until '51. I suspect it was made somewhere between '53 and '55 because it doesn't have the focusing tab either, as the early ones do. Very strange acquisition!

You have a very nice Industar! I have a RF "Industar 22" on my "Zorky" and I like it a lot.
The red letter "П" on lens says that this lens has a better coating (Просветление) than other ones without this letter.
