I do relay this lens to Orio to Italy, before he spend additional amount it I did take out his lens and try it.

No pp, straight convert from camera RAW to JPEG, click on each images to get 14MP images for pixel peeping Smile

#6 and #7 last two are wide open others at F8

Lens cost is 13 GBP +shipping available here, new looking old stock.

Orio, I think you'll be very happy with it, very different to the Sonnar 50s, much more modern look.

Local repair man made it from dead KIEV, you can see it here.

Click here to see on Ebay

Take a research on Ebay you able to find for lot less and more expensive too from different vendors.

What I sell made precisely and works well.

Is it possible for your repair man to make an adapter to mount C/K lens on L39 bodies (threadmount Leica)?
Not that I'd buy one immediately - just to know for the future.
With such an adapter, it would be easy to mount any lens on M cameras too, via common L39 to M adapter.

Bottle neck is RF coupling, simple tube without coupling available on Ebay on low price I saw one.

This is the tube:

But no rf coupling as Attila says.

I tried my copy today on nex. What a lens!

If i want to add a hood, what dimension is made for this lens?
Also, is there any cheap, same mount, in other focal to start a collection?
Love the size, build, and iris mech.

2-3 cm tall and 5 cm large approx, I think not require any hood.

Jupiter-12 35mm f2.8 , not compatible with digital just for film.
Jupiter-8 50mm f2.0
Jupiter-9 85mm f2.0
Jupiter-11 135mm f4
I like earliest better before 1960, witch cm scale and RED P mark.

I did post plenty of samples with them.

Laughing YES! but not cheap usually.

Lucky me, i am about to get a jupiter12.
Did the lens sticking too much in and hit the sensor plan on nex?

Jupiter-8 50mm f2.0 - got this lens from the russian seller with the adapter.
My adapter is hard and uneven, so i did unassembled and adjust a bit.

Looking for these:
Jupiter-9 85mm f2.0
Jupiter-11 135mm f4

Why?
>I like earliest better before 1960, cm scale and RED P mark.
Better build? Better coating?

Could you collect the samples url in one post?
Thanks Attila

Yes.

I collect links regardless of mount they are same lenses just available in leica screw mount and contax rf

About IQ no matter is which one, contax RF usually cheaper.

Expensive... forget it. Not offer anything above your wide SLR lenses and even more expensive.
