Soviet Lens Jupiter-12 2.8/35 mm, mount Kiev-Contax (Contax RF), USSR, *447

Description: Item details Quantity: 1 piecesWeight - 125 grams Description Soviet Lens Jupiter-12 2.8/35 mm, mount Kiev-Contax (Contax RF), made in USSR. ---------------------------------- Jupiter is a family of photographic anastigmat lenses of the Zonnar type, produced in the USSR since 1948. Most “Jupiters” are created for small-format cameras, but some film lenses, as well as optics for special types of equipment, also bear the same name. 'JUPITER-12' would be copied from the German Carl Zeiis Jena Biogon 1: 2.8 f = 3.5cm. The first lenses were produced from German blanks; later the lens was converted to the domestic grade of optical glass. 'JUPITER-12' is the most common Soviet wide-angle lens for rangefinder cameras. The JUPITER-12 2.8/35 is interesting primarily because it is not a retrofocus wide-angle lens. The distance from the back element to the focal plane is much less than its focal length. All lenses for full-format cameras with a focal length of less than 40 mm are retrofocal. It is believed that non-retrofocus lenses, such as this JUPITER-12 2.8/35, have certain advantages: compact size and a fairly simple optical design. Some users add here some other “fairy-tale” design of such lenses. Focusing is performed by moving the entire lens unit. The focus ring rotates approximately 300 degrees. Focusing is smooth; the front lens rotates while focusing. There is a scale with focusing distance in meters. The minimum focusing distance is as much as 90 cm, and the maximum magnification ratio is approximately 1:24. The depth of field scale is available for values F/2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22. The depth of field for F/22 is so large, and the travel of the focusing ring is so small that the depth of field range at this value occupies almost the entire frame of the body - two marks for F/22 they are side by side. The diaphragm is adjusted by the inner ring. The aperture ring sets any value from F/2.8 to F/22. The aperture scale is indicated for F/2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22. The aperture consists of only five blades. Petals are poorly blackened. JUPITER-12 2.8/35 – very unusual and specific. It is praised almost to the skies by many amateurs and professionals. In fact, from a technical point of view of image quality and control, this is a rather mediocre lens. ---------------------------------- The buyer will receive exactly the same item as in the photo.
