Dan Bachmann Posted October 5, 2019 Share #3 Posted October 5, 2019 An unscientific comparison of two 50mm lenses... an Industar 22 (1949 Russian Zorki, shown left) and a Summilux Pre-Asph (~2000 German Leica, shown right). Both 50mm. Welcome, dear visitor!

Musotographer Posted October 6, 2019 Share #11 Posted October 6, 2019 A couple from my two Jupiters; the first, Jupiter-3 (50/1.5) on the M10, the second, Jupiter-9 (85/2) on the M9 Monochrom. The focusing on the 9 was so stiff as to make it almost impossible to use, so it's currently with Malcolm Taylor getting its axle-grease replaced with something a little more co-operative. I'm looking forward to trying it out with some portraits. Welcome, dear visitor!

darylgo Posted October 6, 2019 Share #14 Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Darn, my Contax (German) lens doesn't qualify 😏. Can anyone comment on the longevity and condition of these lenses after sitting in drawers or camera bags for years? Mecanically? Optically? Great photos everyone!

Can anyone comment on the longevity and condition of these lenses after sitting in drawers or camera bags for years? Mecanically? Optically? Great photos everyone! They’re not the best made lenses, mechanically, even when new. Optically, mine did survive the years without the usual ailments of haze/fungus and dust. For what they cost, they can be easily replaced as they are readily available. As you may well know, they are cousins of your contax. The first batches were still made with zeiss jena glass and parts. And of course, the machinery. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted October 7, 2019 Share #16 Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Not partial to the color images (no offense, or is it offence?) though the B&W really do shine, particularly Mustographer's samples in post #11.

At least as good as Leica lenses of the same age, Contax in general not sure about East German post war Contax/Kiev. You can use them with a Contax/Leica adaptor. Welcome, dear visitor!

Thanks James! I think you're right; from my limited use of these lenses so far, they do seem happiest in B&W, and often when wide open with low-key subjects - I love the bokeh in my shot of the camera and glasses. Here's a more straightforward shot though, from the Jupiter-9 and Monochrom1, probably at around f8. Welcome, dear visitor!
