Jupiter-3 is a normal angle (standard) 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. ITEM'S CONDITION: VERY GOOD, LUBRICATED, TESTED WITH TAKING PHOTOS The lens looks gently used before, glass still clean, with no any scratches, separations or fungus, but some minor cleaning marks can be found at front optical element and one piece of dust is visible inside. Nice condition cosmetically, just examine item's photos, please. Aperture blades open and close smoothly, focusing is smooth too (lubricated). I placed the lens to Olympus OM-D camera and took some photos near My home, you can see examples at F1.5 & F8 with same focusing distance around 3m. All functions are available.
