This Jupiter-6 is in GOOD+ condition. The barrel finish shows its
age and there are visible cleaning marks on the front element. Though
these light scratches do not look attractive, the lens will produce
sharp images under most lighting conditions. The focusing and aperture
mechanics are smooth.
The lens comes with both caps
and two filters, all packed in a sturdy leather case.
The Jupiter-6 is relatively uncommon. A few thousand were made in the 1960's
and 1970's. It was later replaced with a black Jupiter-6-2 in
M42 mount.
The lens is shown mounted on a
Zenit-S (not included).
