Re: Jupiter 9 85/2
Got one in LTM form. Nice lens overall, soft wide open, sharp by f2.8. Focus is a crapshoot on my Bessa R (not enough baseline to focus it wider open than f4) but on a SLR the only issues will be the typically old Sonnar low contrast softness wide open. My copy is remarkably good though. It's a clone of the old Contax 85/2 Sonnar for the early Contax rangefinders. For not too much more than a pristine copy you could get an M 85/2 or Leitax a Contax 85/2.8 Sonnar. The latter has the same basic signature with better colour, smaller size and no sharpness issues wide open. A cheap Jupiter-9 isn't a bad deal if you get a good one. Soviet crapshoot rules do apply here. -Adam On Fri, Dec 24, 2010 at 2:36 PM, Collin Brendemuehl coll...@brendemuehl.net wrote: Anyone here use it? Satisfied with it?

There's a guy on ebay selling them, usually with a BIN of $50. His handle in order300. I have bought stuff from him a couple of times and can recommend him. I was almost going to get one of those from him, when I found a K85 1.8 for a good price... I do own the Jupiter 9 in Leica thread mount, and am happy with the results I get from it. j -- --- Juan J.

They sell them on eBay now, I think most auctions have a BIN of ~$50.
