My Jupiter 8 came three days after completion of the order – fast shipping. It’s in great shape and will serve me well I’m sure. There’s nowhere better to buy FSU equipment than from Yuri.

This is one of the nicest 50mm lenses I have used. It is extremely sharp, and also renders beautiful bokeh at wider apertures. The front of the lens rotates when the lens if focused. It is very well made. My “go-to” 50!

Yesterday I was very happy to receive order #5848, an extremely pretty Zorki 1 with a Jupiter 8. I am beyond impressed by the condition of the camera and lens. I wanted to express my gratitude for your work not just on this order, but in maintaining such a reputable store. It is not surprising that Fedka.com is recommended time and time again.

I received my FED 50/F3.5 lens yesterday and am thrilled at how nice it is. Listed as “mint-” but it could be upgraded to “like new” or better, it’s that nice.
It works perfectly on my Leica, Canons and even my Fuji XE-1 with adapter. Beautiful compactness and works smoothly. Very happy with my purchase.
Shipping was lightning fast and packaging was top notch.
Buy from Yuri with confidence, you will not be disapponted!

I recently purchased a New Old Stock (NOS) Jupiter-8 from Fedka. It came in literally new condition — including black capsule and factory papers and front / rear caps.
The lens itself is brand-new, absolutely perfect. The focus ring is extremely smooth, the blades are clear, and the barrell is constructed with excellent materials and good construction.
I use this lens on my Leica M3 and my Leica M240, it is a nice addition to my collection.
Thanks again Yuri for another excellent transaction!
