J9 Kiev mount

[nikonbob]

Just got to try out my new to me J9 in Kiev mount and a big thanks to Curt for the finder. I think it is from 1988, first two of the serial number? It is black and there is just a faint trace of a blue coating. First impressions are that it is a decent lens. These sample shots were taken between F4 and 8 from 6 to 12 feet away. Kodak BWCN for film with a yellow filter/rubber hood and rated at 100.

Wow Bob - that worked! Take it that's a Jupiter 9? I've a lovely Jupiter 11. That works too!!

Thanks, I was wondering if I would like it in B&W as they are colourful and both the lens and B&W seemed to work. When I got the lens I passed on a J11 that was there at the same time. Maybe I shouldn't have.

Bob, your shots show the J-9 to be a fine lens. I've been pleased with the one I have. If you find the J-11 and J-12, don't pass them up. They too are fine lenses.

BTW, thanks for the belated BD wishes. They're appreciated.
