The Russian
Jupiter-9
is a high quality telephoto lens for the Leica type rangefinder cameras.
It is a copy of Zeiss Sonnar 85/2.
The Jupiter-9
is one of the most desirable Russian lenses in both Contax and Leica (39
mm) mounts. It produces very pleasant images (portraits in particular),
and you can control depth-of-field with a wide range of aperture settings.
The lens mounted
on a Leica (or Leica copy) has a nice balanced feel.
