The winner of this Jupiter-12
will not be disappointed. The lens is sharp and contrasty, and is increasingly
hard to find in such great condition. The lens
is sharp and contrasty, you can use with any threadmount Leica or Leica
copy. Note for Bessa-L and Bessa-R users: this lens will mount on these bo
dies, but will not focus properly.
