ABOUT ITEM'S ORIGIN (You can SKIP it!) JUPITER-9 is a long focus milti-coated (MC) lens for different M42 SLR cameras: Zenit, Practica, Chinon, Pentax, Cosina, Yashica, Bessaflex etc. JUPITER-9 lens is intended for shooting portraits, it provide slightly soft and very pretty images. JUPITER-9 is based at ideas and optical scheme of famous 85mm Sonnar Carl Zeiss lens, issued in 1930th years at Germany for RF cameras like Leica and Contax. First 35mm Russian post-WW2 lenses for 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. First JUPITER-9 lenses were made for rangefinder cameras (also with Leica and Contax mount), but later on it was rebuilt for M39 SLR cameras (old Zenit series) and then for M42 SLR cameras. In the main, most all Soviet lenses are exceptionally good and this one is no exception!
