Overview of the lens Jupiter-37A.

Legend of the last century, the national lens - Jupiter 37A 3,5 / 135. He is called a small telephoto or a large portraiture, which is true. Jupiter 37-A takes first place in my vote on the best Soviet portrait lens in the range of 85-135mm.

Jupiter 37A Lens Overview

Jupiter 37A Lens Overview

Jupiter-37A has interchangeable shank, which is marked on the lens with the letter "A". Replaceable shank allows you to change the "rear" part of the lens, which attaches it to the camera mount. Regarding the replaceable shank, it is necessary to erect a monument to domestic manufacturers for this ingenious move. With the help of an interchangeable shank, this lens can also be attached to cameras under the M42 thread or "H" mount.

How to use with modern cameras?

'A' lenses with an interchangeable shank, such as the one in this review, are very easy to use on almost any modern digital camera (both DSLR and mirrorless), just select correct adapter. The replacement 'A' shank usually has an external M42 thread and an 'H' mount (similar to Nikon F). For use on modern cameras, the easiest way is to add the required adapter from M42 to the desired system or from Nikon F to the desired system to this shank.

In times of mass use, version with MS was twice as expensive as usual, which actually affects the quality of work. Nevertheless, a lens without an MC feels great with the hood installed. The lens hood can be worn backwards, the hood has special grooves that allow it to be screwed in the opposite state into the thread for the light filter. I know of only one Soviet lens that allows you to put on the hood backwards - and that is Jupiter-37A.

Most likely, Jupiter 37A became a copy Carl Zeiss Jena DDR MC Sonnar 3,5 / 135 (Sonnara / Zonnara). Both lenses are pretty good, but narrowly focused experts say that the Sonnars are nevertheless better assembled and give a slightly sharper image.

Positive aspects and their brief description:
1. Cheap. Of course, in our time it can be obtained at a fairly low price. This is due to its mass production. This allows novice photographer to get a great picture for low cost.

2. Normal enlightenment. But even such enlightenment avoids unnecessary glare, Zaitsev. Removes fear of back and side light. But nevertheless, Jupiter-37A is a little afraid of flare and gives a light veil in the generated image.

3. The lens came with a wonderful case with the emblem of the 80s Olympiad. The lens hood and lens hood are conveniently placed in the case. You can see how the lens cases look here и here.

4. Lens hood in delivery. The metal hood is quite long. It sits very well on the lens. But here is one minus of the lens hood that it is metal, it adds extra weight and when screwing the metal into the metal, the lens hood wedges and then it takes a lot of effort to unscrew it back. So I do not advise tightening it up much.

5. With interchangeable shank. I wrote about this at the beginning of the article. Allows you to use photo systems with different working lengths.

6. As many as 12 aperture blades. Therefore, it can act as an excellent portrait lens with smooth circles to blur the background (it has good bokeh).

7. Non-fixed stroke of the iris ring. Let me explain - the ring does not have fixed aperture values ​​of type 4.5, 5.6, 8, but has a continuous stroke ring. This is very useful when shooting video, when you can smoothly close and open the aperture (and not jerkily at fixed values)

8. The large stroke of the diaphragm F3.5-F22. Pretty maneuverable lens. Jupiter-37A has a function of preset diaphragm... To use this function, you need to strangle the aperture ring towards the camera and release it at the desired aperture value. After that, the diaphragm will close only to the specified value. This is quite convenient when working with manual optics - to focus on a fully open aperture, quickly close to the desired value and shoot.

9. Metal case... As they say - give the people bread and circuses, and here - give glass and metal.

10. It works in minus 15 to plus 45 ° C, it is nice to read about it in the instructions before going on a winter photo walk.

Features and their brief descriptions:

  • The weight. Over 400 grams, makes you feel all the "power" of the telephoto. But still heavy.
  • The location of the diaphragm ring itself is rather inconvenient.
  • Close focusing from 1.2 meters, you can forget about macro. The focus ring rotates 270 degrees.
  • The thread of the filter is 52 mm, which is a fairly popular diameter.
  • The lens has 4 lenses in 3 groups

On the fully open F3.5 aperture, you get slightly soft excellent portraits, but if you close it, then the sharpness is enough with the head for almost all tasks. What does my copy without MS, 1980.

From personal experience using:

I shoot on Jupiter-37A, even when there is very little time to set the sharpness. The picture is excellent. I really like its contrast, although sometimes it seems dull, in the editor it can be made simply incredible. At aperture of 3.5, you can shoot portraits without fear for the soapiness of the glass. Impressions are pretty positive. Here's another interesting comparison of Jupiter-37A and Kaleinar-5N. Jupiter was slightly better.

But if you need to shoot at least slightly moving scenes, then I would prefer any autofocus telephoto, even if it is a zoom and even if it is very dark (does not have enough aperture) and even if from the manufacturer’s know-how, for example, similar to very cheap Quantaray 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 D LDO MACRO.

    Hello!

    I bought a Jupiter 37A (collection quality), but in front of the front lens there is a certain “chip” or “bubble” ... do not tell me what it is?

    • NIK

      And how to fix it, if possible?
      Will it affect the photo?

      • Jury

        If it is in front of the front lens, then it should not affect. Have you ever taken a single shot? Take pictures with different parameters and see for yourself.

        • NIK

          Yes, when I wrote, it was not possible to remove and check)

          The other day I took pictures ... everything is fine!
          This defect does not affect in any way. The only unpleasant thing is that he is present)

          Thank you all!

      • Valentin Kalenichenko

        I completely agree with Yuri. This "defect" will not affect the quality of the images. Shoot and never mind!

  • Alexander

    That became the owner of this miracle. Just do not know whether to rejoice or not! Put the shank KP-A / N, and the lens does not focus on infinity, go blurry background (((What do you advise to do?

    • Jury

      Which camera was the lens on? When focusing at infinity, does the infinity mark coincide with the center mark of the lens depth of field scale? Who is the manufacturer of KP-A / N - Arsenal or China?

      • Alexander

        Ring manufacturer factory arsenal! The label seems to match, but the background is blurry! I use Nikon 3100. There may be a problem in the poor dismantling of the former owner and he simply did not get into the desired thread passage.

    • Lynx

      There are 2 options here:
      1. you do not have a KP-an, but a conventional adapter from the M42 thread to the Nikon. In this case, you just need to find your own kp-an.
      2. you have a native cp-a / n, but that's bad luck, some Jupiters do not have an “infinity margin”, and the shank was made without taking into account the difference in working segments. And in this case you will have to saw through the shank. Once I had a chance to sprinkle a manual on it. http://lynx-tassi.livejournal.com/500103. html

      • Alexander

        1. Adapter ring KP-A / N for sure! The manufacturer is not China, but the Arsenal factory. There is a document and the production date is July 1989.
        2. Maybe !!! I’m thinking that this may be due to the inaccurate dismantling of the former owner and when screwed, he got lost on the thread. Now I’m thinking about how many passes you need to get 1 or 2.

        • Lynx

          if he didn’t get into the desired helicoid entry, then there would be a shift of marks.

          • Alexander

            such a question - what position should the label 1,2 be in?

            • Jury

              Be guided by the infinity label, look at the photo of the lens in the review, Arkady made several photos in the infinity position

              • Alexander

                There are 3 positions of the helicoid at which the focuser is at the infinity mark. 1 position it is below the fixing brackets, 2 - at their level, 3 - above. But which one is correct?

              • Jury

                in my specimen, the edge of the helicoid does not reach about 1,5 mm to the top of the guide (to the plane into which two screws are screwed). In your photo to infinity, the helicoid must be 5 millimeters higher

            • Lynx

              O_o

            • BB

              Here is a photo of mine, if it helps, With focus everything is ok.

              • Alexander

                Well, with an infinity mark it’s clear, it’s in the middle. But the label 1,2 where should it be? Also in the middle or with a shift of up to 16?

            • BB

              1,2 in the extreme position on my copy "runs over" to the mark "16",
              and in the “infinity” position, the infinity mark slightly falls short of coincidence with the mark, literally by a third or a quarter of the thickness of this very line

              • BB

                a photo

              • Alexander

                Thank! I will try.

              • Alexander

                Checked. On my copy of the Jupiter-37A lens the same position of the marks.

  • Igor

    Today acquired !!! Tomorrow I’m going on vacation, I’ll just test it. I could not resist, stopped right on the road, screwed the adapter (m42-nikon with a lens, no problems) as taught, put in M ​​and happiness! Day and night .
    Immediately put 18-105 and realized why everyone is SO singing praises !!! Thanks to the site and everyone who wrote in comments.
    Yes, in Latvia - Riga found it for 50 euros ... bargained for 43 !!!! I haven't found the transition ring yet ... I called one place - they ask for 30 euros ... Scales in the back of my head ... Maybe someone knows where to get the drawing. I will do it with my hands! For 30 - ku wash !!!

    • R'RёS,R ° F "RёR№

      Igor! With a lens, the image will be worse, so many people write, especially these adapters are Chinese! I myself have such an adapter, but I have not yet had time to try it. I understand very much about the search for an adapter for kp-a / h in Riga and in Latvia, you simply cannot find it - do not go to Kiev for it !!! And I heard about one place in Riga where there is supposedly a ring from a shank A to Nikon for 30 eur .... I did not go there because I think the price is unreasonably high, but I suspect that there is still a T2-MOUNT, not a Chinese one, but from another more expensive manufacturer! According to the information I have, there are T2-MOUNT adapters with a 49mm inside diameter as in the original KP-A / H! ... I myself have Chinese because of its availability, but I did not like the diameter of not 49mm but 51mm and it dangles and, when pressed with three screws, sticks out, plus a gap of 0.5mm still does not sit down to the end! Since I myself once studied to be a turner - So I decided for myself that I will do this ... .. with great difficulty I learned the dimensions of the kp-a / n and came to the conclusion if you put on a cheap and thin Chinese adapter m42-nikon, then you get an extra 2.4mm as a result of these 2.4mm, I decided to cut off the original adapter with Jupiter 37a and wind up the Chinese ring !!! The difficulty is that this can only be done on a lathe, but the work itself will take 5 minutes and a couple of euros if you know who to turn to, or go to Kiev or buy from hucksters for 30 euros! While this has not yet been done, there is no way to get to the machine this week and the next I will get! Therefore, as the cheapest option, I advise the price of a Chinese adapter from ebay or Ali to 1-1.5 eur or from hucksters for 7 eur, and the work of a turner, I would hesitate to take more than 3 eur for this work! You just need to grind off just below the thread so that the adapter is screwed up to the end, it should turn out if you put the resulting creation on the table from and measure with a caliper the distance from the table to the bayonet is 8.6mm. Below is a photo of where to grind off there it can be done ... the supply of walls allows me to measure it! scheme I want to grind off part of the glass on JUPITER 21M !!!

      • Igor

        So what happens - after maintaining the size of 8.6 mm, will it focus at infinity?

        • R'RёS,R ° F "RёR№

          correctly as I wrote above, putting the adapter kp-a / h on the table and picking up a caliper and measuring the distance from the table to the plane that rests on the bayonet should be 8.6mm - therefore, as I wrote above, grind it off in the adapter that already comes with Jupiter 37a or others lenses with a shank A ... ... yes, and why bend the soul in all lenses with m42 - the only thing to be able to install on the lathe is, preferably only the threaded part and grind off the ill-fated 2.4mm for fidelity, grind 2.5mm and after this operation wind the thinnest Chinese black adapter m42-nikon —– and it turns out in the case of Jupiter 37a —- kp-a / h made by hand. ! PS Gentlemen and comrades who already have this adapter, could you measure the distance described above 8.6mm, the thing is that I would like to make sure if I calculated it correctly !!!

      • R'RёS,R ° F "RёR№

        Vitaly Vitaliy you were wrong here you can’t cut 2.4mm since the wall margin is only 2.4, as I myself don’t always know, there were problems with mathematics, but I still think that 1.9mm but no more should be provided if the cartridge in the machine doesn’t hit enough if you have a thick Chinese adapter 1mm will remain 0.5mm I think that it will not fall off! IN ANY EVENT I WILL TRY AND UNDOPS

    • Star boring. Igor

      but at the same time in lithuania I can’t throw off the ms with the zero shank already dressed :)

      • Igor

        And how much in Lithuania ms with a nikon shank costs?

        • Star boring. Igor

          I don’t know :) it probably depends on the season, I just put it for a symbolic 49 euros :) Jupiter showed itself rather weakly at d700, as I don’t use it anymore ... if they don’t buy, then I will use it again sometimes, it is good because it is compact :)

          • Igor

            And what do you use, if not secret, every day?

            • Star boring. Igor

              open-close, everything is in comparison, I can’t shoot several lenses with similar focus lenses at the same time, if all the other glasses are taken away, then yes, it will probably be very good to open, and so something didn’t work with him, it went to d5100, to d200 went, but it didn't go to d700 ... I'm not an expert, I don't know why.

            • Star boring. Igor

              yes, in different ways, depending on the mood, now I try to wear one = put on some clothes and take them off ... today, for fun, I wore a 35mm 2,8 manual, very pleasant, zero distortion, he even has his own bokeh, but nothing cool came across :( and the heat is sweaty in air :)
              and jupe is generally getting dusty, I don’t know why, can someone explain, but even the elementary 70-200 f4 is more convenient and prettier (for me)
              And on the crop, it was simply balder, as it blurs the background to zero, each figistic leaf became a cine ... I'll have to try again tomorrow :)))

            • R'RёS,R ° F "RёR№

              For example, I use a nikon nikkor 35mm f / 1.8 AF-S bought on the advice of professionals. The question was…. the next after the kit is 18-55, but it is better and preferably universal and preferably 1 since I no longer plan to buy more and more expensively since the camera is a budget class d3200.

          • Igor

            The full frame, on the contrary, was supposed to open it! No ?

      • Igor

        Have not changed your mind yet selling the lens? Maybe I went, tried it and now you’re not shooting?! Ms? I would have gained. How is the condition?

        • Star boring. Igor

          sold for a symbolic 50, like a man was seriously set up, did not succumb to discouragement :)

          • Igor

            It's a shame. Will seek !!!!

            • Star boring. Igor

              Yes, don’t worry, drive to St. Petersburg, the bus is cheap, there are heaps of glass at reasonable prices :) and there are shanks in a couple of photo shops, everything is in the center :)

        I apologize for KP-A / N, I bought myself in Riga from one chela, leaving the idea of ​​unnecessary experiments with a file - it looks beautiful after all, the original. By the way, I noticed that now many are trying to sell a cheap Chinese Mr. T2-ring under the guise of KP-A / N. I myself have and used it protrudes by almost 2mm and does not reach 1mm to the end, plus it hangs around it is difficult to tighten normally and does not look aesthetically pleasing!

I looked through dealextreme there is also no such adapter, but how many knickknacks I know from China! On Lushnikov's website it is not clear what the assortment costs and how I am not a telepath with delivery and I can only guess what he has and where he can send it and for what price! !! I know there are on Ukrainian sites, but there delivery for example to Latvia costs 3 times more than the adapter itself and there is no guarantee that it will be sent at all !!! Well, if I'm wrong, then the links of the adapter with the price from ebay or dealextreme !! !

    • Jury

      The Ukrposhta calculator shows the delivery of a parcel weighing 100g to Latvia - about $ 1, the KP-A / N itself costs about $ 5. It is important to persuade the seller in Ukraine to send it. Collect 5 like-minded people, order 5 pieces. How to check the seller's honesty - I don't know :)

            T2-Nikon is not exactly KP-A / N; not only that the inner diameter is not the same (the lens must be carefully centered and clamped with screws if there is enough thread), but the working segment does not coincide - it is soapy at infinity. I checked several of these adapters on several lenses (Jupiter, Tair). China is such China ... In general, alteration is required, as in the article on your website.
            On the other hand, this infinity is not particularly needed on a portrait lens.

    Came from vacation. This is the first manual I have, and the first DSLR. But, I beg your pardon, I got the whole pleasure ... This ... Like her ... Reel !!! There are sea misses, but even if one photo came out, then the result is already! Is not it so ?!
    Now to the point. China with a lens is bullshit. And it's soft. I do not know how he lathers, he just WALKS !!! Even so, everyone should try. There are relatives in Kiev. I will try . And the transition ring in Riga is really 30 euros!

    • R'RёS,R ° F "RёR№

      Relatives, it’s good to order a bucket of adapters and sell them here for 15-20 EUR!

      • Star boring. Igor

        relatives are very good - I gave in St. Petersburg about the 15th in a photo commission, when I took it a year ago - and they said: expensive, because from Ukraine, the last few remained ... But what a thrill was on the crop - if infinity, then you stupidly twist it all the way, to infinity and everything is in focus :)

        • anonym

          Today I ordered an adapter ring on ebee. I'm waiting. 9 + 6 Baku for shipping from Ukraine. They promised to pack with a passport! Really warehouses have not yet emptied. I think a big secondary market.

    • BB

      But what if you pick out the lens, it will be far to infinity?

      • R'RёS,R ° F "RёR№

        Read above, you need to ensure that the lens is closer to the camera and with this adapter the distance increases even more ... as already written above, if you screw a simple very thin adapter onto the thread of the original shank, you get an extra 2.4mm, that is, you need to bring the lens closer to this distance and you will have infinity ! An adapter with a lens is 3 times thicker than usual ... the lens is twisted by the way! I have found only one worthy application for such an adapter, by unscrewing the lens, I put the MC-5CA lens on the camera, which is difficult to put on younger models like d3200 due to the fact that it is very wide and rests against the flash body.

      • Lynx

        highly dependent on the specific lens.
        For example, for me, Jupiter even with the usual lensless adapter gives an overrun for infinity.
        If it is without a "gap", then on a "lens with a lens" - about a meter or two.

  • Igor

    I got kp-a / n on ebee. Did not get up. Could not screw to click stopper. I had to finish it. There is a good opportunity to get to the machine. He took literally 0.07 from the reference plane and everything worked out. All the same, the end And this is power !!! Good luck to everyone and sharp shots !!!!

  • Igor

    And Lynx like it. Bends its line. Hey Lynx, how about switching to new optics? Does it work out?

    • Lynx

      in the sense of transition to a new one?
      I have somewhere in the spring a more or less already established park, and so far I don’t see big reasons to be driven by renewal or change.

      • Igor

        seen on another page I read your old letter ...))))

  • Igor

    Today I'm going to flea market. Maybe I’ll get it !!!!!

  • Lysyi71

    ... did not find the transition (I AM FROM DONETSK). I changed it myself, I am satisfied with the result ...

    • Igor

      There are transition rings in Kiev. 8 euros. Relatives sent me by bus and tomatoes with grapes !!!! Grapes, I'll tell you, are just a bomb. And when you still know that he was enjoying the sun 2-3 days ago…. )))))))

    • Alexander

      Nice shot! I see in EXIF: Nikon D3100 camera, shutter speed 1 / 640s., ISO 200. What is the aperture value?

      • Lysyi71

        ... in the open. f = 3,5.

  • Igor

    Thinks noticeably with an extra lens ... Or not ..

  • Igor

    And I also like this picture. Blue leaves - this sky is reflected !!! Cool ...

  • Igor

    My focus on the green point is pretty accurate. I focused on the screen with a magnification, and then switched to the sight, the green dot is on and does not extinguish !!!! Two pictures are from vacation and the lens was with an adapter - a lens. Now I put the kp-a / n. 14 euros with delivery. The parcel from Ukraine reached Riga in 4 !!!!! day. Only, as I wrote earlier, I had to shoot a little from the reference plane.

    The sharpness of the lens is very pleasing! Subjectively, my opinion is that Nikor 50mm 1,8G is in second place in terms of sharpness.

  • anonym

    After working with Jupiter-37A, I got (inspired) a comparison - this is AK-47 in the field of photos :) :)
