The lens is in EXC- condition, there are some minor cleaning marks on the front element, signs of age on the barrel. These flaws are very minor and would not affect image quality or lens performance in any way. The focusing is smooth.
The Jupiter-3 comes with both caps and case.
The Jupiter-3 was sold as a high-end option on some Zorki cameras (Zorki, Zorki-2S,
Zorki-3 to name a few).
This particular lens was made in 1950, a very early and rare sample. It is heavier than later lenses (more brass parts) and has tabs on the aperture ring, just like the the very first Sonnar copy – ZK.
The lens is shown mounted on a
Leica IIIf (not included).
