Jupiter-9 is a long focus coated lens for FED, Zorki, Leica, Bessa and other rangefinder cameras with same lens mount and with same optical registration. First Russian lenses for 35 RF cameras (known as BK and ZK lenses) were created at KMZ plant on the base of of Zeiss and Leica equipment, which was imported to the USSR for production towards reparations after WW2. All the Soviet plants which issued photo equipment (include famous KMZ, LOMO, Arsenal and Litkarino plants) mostly issued military equipment, and little part only were for civil purposes, and those civil goods had enough high quality to receive World glory for best ratio price/quality.
