Jupiter-9 kiev/contax to canon eos

[farmer83]

Hi everbody,

I own this great Jupiter-9 lens

. And I know it has a kiev/contax bayonet.


But how can i attach this to a digital canon eos?

Is there a adapter available? Maybe a Kiev P6 - eos adapter...



Hope that someone has the solution for this

my p6 mounts dont look anything like this, sorry! im wondering if this is either a contax g mount or a kiev 10 mount....

There are some Contax RF adapters to M-mount solutions out there. Here's a photo of one.



I believe the register for this is too short to work on an EOS. However on m4/3 you can use the above adapter in conjunction with the M-mount -> m4/3 adapter to get some photos.

Kiev/Contax range finder mount. No EOS mount adapter that I know of and if there was it would only give very close focusing.

I modified my lens (black painted version) to EOS mount (non-reversible surgery, so not for the faint hearted ) allowing infinity focus and normal use on DSLR. I now like and use this lens a lot. In fact my other M42 MC J9 only gets rare use for soft focus effect at F/2, which is nice. But the modified J9 is sharp right from F/2 and is quite a different character. Mechanically, I also find it has a smoother/easier action and no aperture pre-set.

I had these bits lying around and never managed to put it together for my GF-1. I've taken my CZJ 80 1:2 Sonnar and put them together with the appropriate adapters for my GF-1.

The adapters on my GF-1


It even works with Zeiss-Opton Biogon 35mm 1:2.8

The Zeiss-Option's were post-war West German lenses, later the marque changed to 'Carl Zeiss'.

The lenses will certainly get a new life with my GF-1. Now to see if the wider lenses fit as well I'll get a photo, next time I put the adapters together.

I know my jupiter-9 is an old version from the '1950s.

But what kind of kiev/contax mount is it? Contax RF as was told above?

Which kiev?


Maybe this can help me further if there's a possibility to attach this to my canon eos.

That is the Kiev/Contax bayonet from the Kiev-4 and friends (as well as Contax-II pre-war)

[wilson.c]

This even works with a Carl Zeiss Biogon 21mm f:4.5, but the rear element protective flange needs to be removed. Weather here is foggy for the weekend so I afraid no test shots can be shot. This makes the GF-1 kit very heavy compared to the Panasonic 20mm/1.7 pancake lens.

Now to see what I can do with the Contax G lenses/adapters. Looking forward to the adapter from Alex (hk300).

You can find adapters on the bay. Try to search Contax RF to Nex (or M43). I sell some also, but only localy (in France)

Adapters for Contax can be very expensive. A way to make one is to use a broken Kiev body. I made an adapter by taking the entire focusing mechanism from a Kiev body and monuting it into an M39 adapter. It was a perfect fit and needed practically no infinity adjustment. The helical screws right out so I can focus way closer than the normal 1 metre. It will take external bayonet lenses too but not the wides, because they go too deep into the body.

Thanks for the reply. How can I know which type of bayonet do those Jupiter-9 and 11 have? Can you please confirm that jupiter9 and 11 have their own focusing mechanism? If it s like that I would only need a simple adapter, not the focusing one

[newst]

[kapnobatai]

well, that great news, thank you very much, I ll go for the Jupiter-9 (maybe also the 11, as they re pretty cheap together) and try to find a simple adapter
