Was looking through ebay and noticed this have not seen one before and wondered if anybody had tried them
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/kmz-jupiter-8-2-50-m39-ultra-rare-version-unique-lens-/320755828511?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item4aae89871f#ht_500wt_1413

Far to expensive for me but just curious

Never heard of such .. It's either is a rare prototype or home made between industar and J8 Smile

Home made for sure, lens rare side has a serial number which is normal on collapsible lens and very different on plate Wink ultra rare for sure , due this copy is exists only , great buy for 10 GBP.

Looking at my Princelle book, there's nothing that matches this lens 100%. Most likely homemade. Maybe it was an attempt to make something that would replicate the look of the old rare "Z.K." branded lenses. There were several collapsible 2/50s from KMZ.
