Description

The Russian Jupiter-9 is a high quality, fast portrait lens for the Contax and Kiev rangefinder cameras. It is a copy of Zeiss Sonnar 85/2.

Jupiter-9 is one of the most desirable Russian lenses in both Contax and Leica (39 mm) mounts. It produces very pleasant images and you can control depth-of-field with a wide range of aperture settings. The lens mounted on a Contax or Kiev has a nice balanced feel.

  1. Nikhilesh Sekhar

    I love this lens! Incredibly sharp wide open with glorious Pre war Zeiss Sonnar Bokeh. It works well on my kiev 4a and my amedeo adapter with Leica M3. I can use the Leica’s 90mm frameline to approximate the 85 mm feild of view. This lens is the best money dollar for dollar that I have ever spent on the lens. Thanks Yuri, you have gained a loyal customer.
