Jupiter-9 came today

[Dan Scott]

My new Jupiter-9 finally made it here today. Very cool, very retro. Big chunks of glass held together with what could pass as repurposed auto parts. :-) Nicer than what I expected.

The manual, naturally, is in Russian. I see that I can turn the outer ring and that apparently adjusts to limit how far the aperture can be stopped down. The ring behind that controls the aperture itself. Last is the focus ring.

What is the standard approach to these old style lenses? Focus, stop down, and shoot? Anything I should be aware of? I'll be using it on my ZX-5n once the adapter from B&H gets here.

If I decide I like it enough to want to dedicate a body to it, what variety of Spotmatic should I be looking for?
