  Funny this lens follows my post on the Zenith 3M with it's early adoption of the 39mm Leica  thread mount......the F2 version  lens was often coupled to the Zorki 3, it must have had some sort of range-finder coupling there........

 

............I remember years ago the Jupiter 8 50mm F2 lens being reviewed on the Zorki in Amateur Photography magazine........(I think with lens that it cost about  Â£40)........they used views of the Thames embankment with the associated ships moored there in B+W as the test shot............ it was mushy soft at the edges and needed seriously stopping down.......... 

 

   Now the F1.5+ is  $600!..........except on......

 

  Ebay..........here the going rate is around £135.....a bit more like it!.....I wonder what it cost then?

In Blunty's Utube review of the lens he "waxes lyrically" about the lenses qualities..........it seems to be very special.........

 Those wanting one better get one quickly.....I dare say the S/H prices will double after this announcement!!

 

 

 Spent the evening looking at Zorki 4Ks for sale....   :unsure:
