Thanks, Attila! I hate to sell it but I'm raising money for another lens...

It needs to be said that later versions of Jupiter-9 are not as good as this one. Anyone can google for it. I found this http://forum.mflenses.com/which-version-of-jupiter-9-is-the-sharpest-read-on-t33858.html

General rule about Russian lenses , buy earliest much as you can! This is my practical experience.

My problem with this lens is that it doesn't quite focus infinity on my Pentax K-x. This was taken with K100D, f/2 and focus set infinity: http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1018/imgp3954a.jpg

Jupiter-9 is adjustable very well, adjustable to reach infinity well even for Nikon.

I will look into it if it doesn't sell... I have Zuiko 85/2 and Helios 85/1.5, so it has tough competition...

This lens is SLR lens from adjusting perspective no matter M39 or M42, due this lens has M42 register distance , don't need to adjust for Canon. You need an M42 EOS adapter + M39->M42 ring.

Zenit M39 register distance is 45.2mm.
Pentax M42 register distance is 45.46mm.

So there is a difference of 0.26mm, which may cause problems...

At infinity distance wide open perhaps, I did use successfully this method at infinity at F8-F11 ( I never shoot wide open this distance)
and naturally works well in portrait distance at any aperture.

It worked well with my K100D but not with K-x. There is sample variation in flange distance with Pentax bodies. My SMC Takumar 55/1.8 doesn't focus infinity either. I know AF lenses are supposed to focus over infinity because it helps the focusing system.

I added some pics of the lens to the first post.

EDIT: The lens is sold....
