    almost bought ..
    I will try on kenon.
    But what does it mean in macro mode on a DSLR?
    there, after all, the main ones are the priority of the aperture / shutter speed and manual.
    and macro mode is that? which machine?
    and further. but did someone try with its macro rings?

    Hello again.
    to work this lens need to redo something?
    I have an adapter M39-M42 + adapter M42 ..

    but there is a problem. when the lens in the removed state, both the aperture and the focus move smoothly.
    when I just put on the M42 all the way - something is blocking the focal length scale. it doesn't scroll ..

    it's not even putting on a carcass.

    what could be the problem and how can I fix it :?

    thanks for your reply.

    Hello. Please, tell me please, which method of connecting to the d5100 will be preferable? m39-m42-nikon or better all the same immediately m39-nikon?
    If you choose the second option, then the focusing distance should seem to be larger, since the lens will be closer to the matrix. Or am I not thinking right?

    Good time!
    I have a Jupiter 8M lens (received as a gift along with rangefinder Kiev).
    1. What can you say about this lens?
    2. Is it possible to "make friends" with a mirrorless, for example micro 4/3, or Sony NEX, if so, how?
    3. I can't get it off the camera. That is, to control the aperture - yes, twist the focus - like yes, but to remove it from the camera - no.
    And yet, what Soviet (inexpensive and affordable) lenses would you recommend for micro 4/3 mirrorless

      IMHO the cheapest gentlemanly set is Yu37, Yu8, 44-2 (it is desirable to choose, they are very different) or later, I61L / D (also choose).
      But the Japanese are still cooler, although there is enough trash among them.

    Add for Micro4 / 3 (I have Olya E-PM2)
    I use through adapters M42-Micro4 / 3 and M39-M42 for macro, as the focus is only a couple of centimeters. If you need to make a part-book or focus on infinity, then I remove the inner ring from the M42-Micro4 / 3 adapter. I put the lens there and tighten the adapter with adapter bolts. Bolts tighten the focus ring, you can be guided by rotating the lens itself.

    Good day! The adapter is easily and for free made from the M39-nex adapter as follows. The bayonet is removed from the carcass, the fastening plate is cut off along the circumference with a hand jigsaw with a metal file, and processed with a flat file. Further, the inner ring of the adapter expands to the diameter of the rear part of the mount. The front part of this ring is removed on sandpaper by about 0,8-1 mm. Everything is now glued to the bayonet inside the adapter ring on epoxy. Behind the drilled hole for the pin - stop in the position of the screwed-in bayonet and push in the pin (using a paper clip), it's done! We get pleasure from shooting on Y8M!

    Why are people so crazy about a lens made on exported German machine tools 60 years ago ???? Let him compare the pictures taken with a 1955 or 1985 Soviet lens and the current whale zoom. Then the public will understand why the whale zoom costs 200 dollars, and the sovetsky lens costs 200 UAH)))

      All the same, the machines were changed over time. Even a relatively new black Jupiter will be more interesting than a whale. Even a plastic zenitar-bullet will be more interesting than a whale ... Even an industrial-50 is cooler than a whale)

        In Scoop, for which many cry so much - no one has changed anything for 50 years! That's why he crumbled! Zhygul and Muskvich were released virtually unchanged for 20-30 years. FED and Zvenit - riveted for 20-30 years on the same machines and forms! Whale zooms in terms of image quality will be 100 times better than many shovels. For enlightenment of lenses and blackening of the inner surfaces of lenses, as well as for the accuracy of grinding lenses - Scoop used German technologies of the 1930s, exported from Germany in 1945-1948. It's another matter that high-aperture Nikorov non-autofocus prime lenses cost $ 100-300, and shovel lenses $ 30-100. From here you have to dance. The price of the scoop is small!

    More. Scoop lenses contained 4-6 lenses - and then the image contrast and light transmission are poor or mediocre. A whale zoom 6-10 lenses - and the picture is much brighter and juicier. Therefore, a comparison of Soviet technologies of the XX century and Japanese technologies of the XXI century. - not for the benefit of sovkodrocherov. Compare the price!))))

      Compare the picture J8 and the whale - everything is obvious ... The tasks that are put before the zoom and the "scoop" are also different. So we're talking about different things. In addition, the 50-80s of the glass did not have MC, what a contrast here. There is no need to demand much from the advice, you need to understand that Soviet glasses are not used in all cases and not as everyday universal ones.

        Naturally! "Whale" lenses give a bright juicy contrasting picture! Not a blurry yellow spot like Soviet lenses from the 1950s and 1970s! You, sir, think for yourself - why "whale" lenses cost several hundred dollars, and for soviet "achievements" people are willing to pay only a few tens of dollars ??? Probably not without reason))))

        Nonsense. The whales have a contrast, yes, but the whales of many systems (not all, but we will not point a finger) lather even more Soviet ones, especially at the long end.
        And also such a nuance. Aperture ratio. The whales don't have it. If there is no aperture and no light, you will shoot at wild ISO as a whale. Get a nightmare at the exit. And with Helios 44-2 for $ 5 - you won't get it, because you didn't have to wind up the ISO.

        The price of old lenses is determined by the usual law of supply and demand. As well as the lack of autofocus in them. And also the lack of normal means (before the appearance of mirrorless) to focus these lenses normally.
        And, of course, modern fixes are better in all respects, except for the price. Apart from bokeh, the Zonnar bokeh of the Yu8 is luxurious.

    In fact, anyone with a lens is characterized by such parameters as resolution, no distortion and light transmission (at least in three zones of the visible spectrum). Scoop lenses - in ALL these parameters - are much, much worse than the "whale" zoom. Moreover, scoops are worse and cheaper than Japanese prime lenses of the 1960s-1980s. So that's it. So it is not necessary to make virtue out of soviet poverty.

    I think that even if Jupiter and their ilk were riveted on their knees by Uncle Vasya from Stary Petrivtsiv, the quality of the photos is still worthy of attention to this technique. And the question of the age of technology and other nonsense is completely irrelevant.

    Good afternoon, can you tell me what I need ... I have some optics of the USSR, but the problem arose with the Jupiter-8 lens with the M39 thread. I installed it through adapters m39-42 + m42 with a chip for Canon. But it works in macro and when I turn it all the way, the focusing ring does not work (it clamps) ... Maybe you Arkady tell me, you tested it on Canon.

    Or do you need a ring + adapter?
    M39 adapter to M42 + M42 adapter to micro 4/3
    Does it make sense and how will it be more correct to use adapters for the M39?

    Dear, here is a site for discussing lenses. I ask you to keep a message no matter where you are born
    correct, no one is interested in cockroaches that run uvas in the head. Now about
    lenses, you don’t need to insult a person, but your opinions on lenses do not coincide. People are different, and if a person thinks differently from you, then this is just an alternative thought, and it may be that it is much smarter than yours.
    people and lenses are here, I want to remind you of one well-known saying (it’s not the camera and the lens that shoots, but the person). And it depends only on you what the result will turn out, regardless of what you are holding in your hands. Do not transfer the dirt of your thoughts to this bright site.

    Hello!
    I want to take one for myself as a portrait lens on an Olympus micro 4/3 system. I really like his bokeh and the picture in general ... but what's stopping you, with a crop of 2, the equivalent will be 100/4? Can you shoot a half-length portrait with a beautifully blurred background? or on my double crop it will be an elusive task with such depth of field? Thanks!
