JUPITER-3 1,5/50 with mount Contax-Kiev RF
JUPITER-3 1,5 / 50 from this review has an internal Contax-Kiev RF mount and, unlike lenses with an external Contax-Kiev RF mount, does not have a focus ring, depth of field zoom and focus distance scale. You can find a lot of useful information about the unusual Contax-Kiev RF mount lens in the review JUPITER-11 1: 4 F = 13,5cm P with external mount Contax-Kiev RF.
There are a large number of Soviet modifications of JUPITER-3 with a Contax-Kiev RF bayonet, produced at different times and at different factories. Below is some useful information about JUPITER-3 from Denis:
It is well known that the 'Jupiter' to 3 'is a Soviet copy of the famous German lens' Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 1: 1.5 f = 5cm', which was designed by the talented designer, optometrist Ludwig Bertele in 1932 as sverhsvetosilny lens for your camera Zeiss Ikon Contax I.
Originally finished lenses and linzobloki original Zeiss Sonnar delivered in the Soviet Union as reparations following the Second World War. In the second half of the 40s, due to the elimination of stocks of finished optics in Germany were deployed production linzoblokov, which are then delivered to the USSR in the Krasnogorsk mechanical plant, and installed in the frame under the name 'Zorko LC 1: 1.5 f = 5cm P' ( ZK - Zeiss Sonnar Krasnogorsk, Sharp - telegraph factory address in wartime). These lenses were made as in the embodiment of fastening M39h1 / 28.8, and at this embodiment to the bayonet devices Kontaks and Kiev. A characteristic feature of these lenses is the so-called. 'Tabs' in the aperture control ring that moved by inheritance from Zeiss Sonnar.
Since 1948, with the participation of German specialists, the production of lenses was transferred to the USSR, to the Krasnogorsk plant, where the lens was recalculated and produced from stocks of German optical glass. Between 1950 and 1951 the name of the lens was changed - the abbreviation 'ZK' disappeared, the now known name 'JUPITER-3 1: 1.5 f = 5cm P' appeared.
By 1954, due to the depletion of the captured optical glass lens was restated MD Maltsev under domestic assortment of optical glass. The new version of the lens began to be produced in 1955, but already in the next 1956 the production of 'JUPITER-3' was transferred to the Zagorsk Optical-Mechanical Plant, where it was produced until the end of the 70s.
It is' Zagorsk 'JUPITERS-3' that make up the bulk of the manufactured lenses, both threaded and bayonet. Since 1962, the marking and logo of ZOMZ have changed - instead of 'bonding lenses'the stylized eye was used (as on the lens from this review), and the name became more modern -' JUPITER-3 1,5 / 50 '. Due to the presence of enlightenment in all lenses produced in the USSR, the letter 'P', which signified its presence, also disappeared. In the production process perfected enlightenment, however, it remained a single layer of a chemical.
Since the late 70s production 'Jupiter-3' was transferred to the plant 'Jupiter' in Valdai, where the black threaded version is released. They are distinguished by more perfect enlightenment, which allows them to better convey color. Production continued until the mid-80s.
Also known experimental batches of lenses are produced in the first half of the 50s in the GOI for the camera prototypes 'Leningrad'. A quantity of lenses in the late 50s was prepared for the camera 'Comet' special bayonet embodiment.

JUPITER-3 has a diaphragm with thirteen petals... The petals are matte; when they are closed, a regular round hole is formed. The lens has only one ring - the aperture control ring, with its help you can set any value of the F-number: from F / 1.5 to F / 22. The ring has intermediate values not fixed and rotates smoothly. On the body there are labels for F / 1.5, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 22. F-ring is narrow and it is not always convenient to use.

Jupiter-3 small, weighs about 150 grams, uses filters diameter 40.5 mm. The native front cover has no snaps and just fits snugly against the lens barrel. The lens is made well, judging by the numbers - in 1972.

The relative aperture of 1: 1.5 is 1.78 larger than the 1: 2 used by the little brother - JUPITER-8 1: 2 F = 5cm P... JUPITER-3 - one of the most high-aperture lenses Soviet.

The lens has nezachernennye lens chamfer, which theoretically affect the contrast and exposure. At F / 1.5 lens is very weak in terms of field, close the iris at least until F / 2.0, you can get more or less a normal image. In general, the object of interest in the first place its 'pattern' and the technical components of the image quality go by the wayside :).
Source files can be downloaded. at this link (45 pictures in '.ARW' format, 1.05 GB). In the gallery, all the photos are unprocessed, the usual reduced on-camera JPEG. On the Sony a7 I used JUPITER-3 mirrorless camera with a homemade adapter to mount the Contax RF-Kiev on bayonet SONY E.
Please note that long-range lenses, such as this one, in SLR cameras can not be used. Even if you install them on a DSLR camera, you can only shoot 'macro'.

JUPITER-3 1,5 / 50 is quite highly regarded by many photographers and collectors, and at flea markets he asked for large sums of money. By itself, the JUPITER-3 very nice lens.
Have you read the review of this rare lens to the end or looked at examples of photos? Then be sure to share this information on social networks (the buttons are a little lower).
Material prepared Arkady Shapoval.
Wow! Is it possible in more detail about a home-made adapter ??)
It is made of the mount of the Kiev camera and adapter M39-Sony E. I did not do it, but our craftsmen. In other reviews there are more of his photo.
Well, thanks at least for the original ingredients))
Just do not have to smack Kiev. Karma spoils for it.
And what do you suggest buying an Ibei adapter for the equivalent of dollars, will karma not deteriorate from this?
a trifle, but nice :) I have Jupiter-3 at number 5106520 i.e. glass from German stocks :)
In fact, this has little effect - the fact that often the Zagorian and even Valdai Jupiters are better than the Sonnars.
No, the very one has such and the 61st year, so the 51st year gives a subjectively more pleasant figure.
a common misconception about the "German" glasses. if it was ZK, the year of the 46th, I would have believed. and so ...
And before the number they were still from German?
Look in the directories when you made a lens conversion for our glasses. Here, after recounting and slightly modified frames (ears and small things), they became not German
Until 1951, Jupiter-3 used repair lens blocks assembled by Carl Zeiss. Distinguish them easily on the license plate LINZBLOKAM version bayonet Kiev Kontaks. SERIAL NUMBER Carl Zeiss put on manufactured in Germany optics. If you see a serial on the back, you can be sure that this is a Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar T 50 mm f / 1.5 lens. It's simple, if you know! )))
Interestingly, and my jupiter 8 f2 came with the same Kiev 3 as from the review. I don’t understand what kind of device with a cover on top.
Hinged light meter
Somewhere deep inside, I understand that this is a light meter, but I can’t connect together the direction to differently lit objects, the random swaying of the arrow and the wild number of scales with all kinds of markings, the rotation of which does not affect the shutter speed in any way (by ear, anyway) . So you think, maybe it's still some sort of prehistoric Wi-Fi or GPS. :))
Instructions to help.
He dies quickly.
By the way, judging by the pictures, I would not say that the lens on the open is just too weak. Based on what was seen, almost all fifty dollars of this kind give a similar picture.
Why is everything open? It would be interesting to see what changes.
Where is everything open? In the examples, everything is shot at different values of F.
Gentlemen, advise the artists who paint with light which lens is best to buy on the Nikon 5200,
Nikon 18-200 or Nikon 16-85. I broke my head, I can’t decide. Tell me please!
As for me 16-85. But this is not a logical choice, you must choose what you want, for what purposes, etc.
Depends on the goals
Like a station wagon, take 18-200
How does the lens focus? and are there adapters on m4 \ 3
Look at this picture, and all will become clear - https://radojuva.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/jupiter-8-f-2-50-mm-p-arsenal-contax-kiev-rf-lens-8.jpg Focusing is due to the inside of the adapter.
color is not very, d700 was better
I agree.
Dezdecado
For example, I always shot fifty kopecks (Industrial 61), and now I use fifty kopecks from Nikor, and I use TeleSUMOMI and televisions very rarely.
Thanks for the advice. I have a fifty dollars, it’s not enough for landscapes. Now I’m renting nature for 18-105, everything seems to be fine, but I want more sharpening and a little more quality.
Of the native zooms, the expensive Nikkor AF-S 16-35 mm F / 4 G ED VR and Nikkor AF-S 24-70 mm F / 2.8 G ED on the crop will not give a pronounced increase in sharpness, just convenient wagons, I checked. For landscapes, you can find a little BU in good condition Sigma 35mm 1: 1.4 DG A HSM, the angle will not be wide on the crop, but you can glue several pictures into the panorama, detailing in excess. When you go to full frame, the lens will not need to be sold.
It’s a good lens, but in winter it’s hard to show one branch in sharpness beautifully. Can summer production portraits with normal light at average aperture values (4-8) add over time to the post?
Soaps beautifully, but softit is not as cruel as, for example, my copy of Jupiter-9.
A good lens, I am looking for such a 39 thread. I hope to dig out or exchange in some pantry. But buy for 7-10 thousand p. I definitely won’t. By the way, after using the rangefinders Jupiter-8, 11 on my samsung NX30, the interest in M42 optics somehow faded away. Rangefinder glass is more compact and often better.
I do not quite understand why lenses from rangefinders on SLR cameras cannot be used, but only MACRO can be removed.
Is it because of the working distance?
Yes.
I really like this lens. There is for comparison the Nikon rangefinder aperture fifty fifty and the Jensky and Stuttgart Sonnars under Contact. Nikonovsky lathers in the open. Jensky fits well under bw. Jupiter compares with Zonnar from Stuttgart, although the pictures are different. As a budget analogue of Zonnar is very, very good.
On open
Chickens are great!
An updated, but the price tag, of course, is also modern 650 beev, so I’m reconciling so far with warm color reproduction, perhaps)
Perhaps someone will be interested:
In Moscow, I will offer to purchase Jupiter-3 ZOMZ for Kiev (state 4/5), with a home-made adapter for Sony or without it. $ 95 or $ 80, respectively.
