I am looking at a chrome Jupiter 9 and the owner reports: "Designed for the Fed , Zorki ( LTM - Leica thread mount) and for Kiev Contax ( Bayonet ) and Zenit Praktica (M42 ). M39x1 mount ( LTM ). " Can someone tell me how it can be used for these different registrations? It does have a threaded mount.

Hi,
It can't. I think the seller must be quoting some reference source that states that the Jupiter-9 was available for ("designed for" in that sense) those three discrete mounts/registers. It seems to me that I often see that sort of boilerplate quoted wholesale in listings for Russian lenses.
I wonder whether it's the last sentence fragment ("M39x1 mount {LTM}") that's intended to identify the specific lens being offered.
Cheers,
Jon |

If it's for use on a non-4/3rds camera, you will need the fat version. The rangefinder version was skinny.

You're saying the chrome lens did come in M42 or at least a longer registration distance? Fat or skinny relative to what? I guess I'd need to see both.

There are basicly 3 versions with dif. registration distance.
First the old alu. Its M39, but still for a FF. If you use M39->M42 converter, ull get a 0,3 mm difference and you loose infinity.
And then the black M42 version (there is also a black MC version).
Ive got the black M42 version (not MC).
Heres my topic about it.
Then there is a M39 RF version. This will NOT fit your SLR.
See.. She lost lost all that weight on her hips.
Russian lenses made in the 60s were M39.
The Russian "beast" SLR was the Zenit 3M, it used a M39 thread mount.
So thats why...

EDIT: I use a cheap simple M39-M42 adapter, which is just a double-threaded ring that threads INSIDE the M42 mount, with no distance change. I use a flangeless infinity-focus M42-PK adapter. No registry problems, no distance changes, and my J9 has infinity focus on my PK and M42 cameras.
 
First: the fat J9 mounted on a FF SLR.
Then: the J9, M42-PK adapter, M39-M42 adapter.

Im 100% sure it does not have the same reg. distance.
Its 45,2 мм vs. 45,5 мм.

Just my experience. I have a M39 russian. And with the M39->M42 adapter it does not focus to infinity on my Spottie.

I really doubt there is a alu M42 version. (like 95% sure)
Yours is just rebuild or the adapter is firmly screwed on there.
What year is yours made ?
The transformation looks like this...
The SLR version
Silver M39 -> Black M39 -> Black M42 -> Black M42 MC

Hmmmm maybe it was converted if you're so sure abt it ... I sold it but I do have some pictures of it ... lemme check if I have any clear shots of the mount so we can check what the story really is

I'll check with the friend who bought it and get back to this thread
I'm pretty sure the mount was native M42 ...

This one is RF lens, tall and slim , no practical usage on SLR.

I just fill up Jupiter lenses in lens database and I found in research
The Jupiter-9 is a copy of the pre-war Zeiss Sonnar 85mm f/2, and perhaps that's the reason why this lens has such an outstanding reputation. In fact some even compare it favorably to Leica optics...
Don't know I never had any Leica optic and pre-war Sonnar, but I did test Orio's RF lend 8,5cm f2 Jupiter I was amazed ...

Talking abt pre-war, Attila, how much should I expect for my m42 black biotar, 17 blades? Body is in good condition and lenses are clean n clear

So 100-200 USD especially if we see I have three copies and only one is clear ..

From the translation of that page it looks like the J9 was made with five registry's -- "Operating distance: 28.8 mm 34.85 mm 44 mm 45,2 mm 45,5 mm". I am fairly sure that my aluminium J9 is the 45.5mm version. Today I wandered a nearby town with the J9 on my K20D. The following shot was taken about 85-100 m from the old county courthouse, f/8 at 1/2000 second. First is the entire photo, reduced. Second is 100% crop.
 
Not all infinities are created equal.  But on the J9, the scale markings go from 25m to infinity, so I think that 85-100m is close enough to 'infinity' for this lens. Were this J9's registry 45.2mm, I think the far focus would be closer to 10m, and the courthouse a blur.

Yep, those were Leica M39 (rangefinder), Kiev/Contax (rangefinder) , the Automat version for Kiev 10/15 (SLR), M39 mount for Zenit (SLR), and M42 universal screw mount (SLR). Only the last two types are adaptable to modern SLRs (m4/3 may take Leica and Contax versions, too).
That said, silver (aluminum) lenses made for early Zenit SLR cameras were M39, or 45.2mm flange distance. They would not reach infinity if used on an M42 camera with a M39-M42 ring; there were instructions published in Sovied photo magazines on how to properly convert the mount from M39 to M42 for various lenses.

For M39 SLR lenses I use an adapter, which is a bit thinner and infinity isn't problem. I think it's the best solution - no conversion is needed, a single adapter will allow you to use all SLR M39 lenses...
Mir-1 37/2.8
Helios-44 58/2
Jupiter-9 85/2
Helios-40 85/1.5
Jupiter-11 135/4
Jupiter-6 180/2.8
maybe there's more of them...
