Jupiter-37A with Nikon adapter

Hello,

I´m trading my Auto Revuenon 55/1.4 lens for a Jupiter-37 A 135/3.5 lens.
The Jupiter is now in M42 mount.

Do I have to buy a Russian KP-A/N adapter in order to mount it on my Nikon or is it possible to use a T2 mount (removing the inner ring, or something?)

Thanks

It is possible to use the outer ring of a Nikon-T2 mount. However care is needed in selecting the brand - the inner diameter of the outer ring can vary. I have used the adapter labelled "Kood" - although I've seen the same adapter with other names or no name at all. Although it worked well there was a small amount of "play" at the F bayonet side.

Thank You, John.

I´ll try with my no name T2-adapter, when I´ll get the lens.

a bit late, but it may help someone else. I found the lens barrel too wide to fit inside a T2. So i ground out about half a mm from the inside of the T-mount with my dremel and the lens fits perfectly. Infinity focus too. Very happy
