  | sent on 04 Marzo 2026 Pros: Sharpness already at full aperture, vivid and saturated colors, excellent bokeh from a true portrait optic. Very compact lens built in a robust and durable way. Cons: Well... flare... and then flare. Opinion: With 50-60 euros you can take home a portrait lens with a good focal length (I prefer the 105 - 135mm range to the more canonical 85 mm) and an excellent blur. The lens is compact and, of course, completely manual. A bit unpleasant the fact that the MAF has the direction "reversed" compared to the Nikkor lenses.... this means that in the dial of the D700 on which I use it when the focus arrow indicates you have to turn more to the right to get the correct focus, in reality you will have to turn left, and vice versa. Even the aperture ring does not "talk" correctly with the camera: when I "close" the D700 it underexposes, probably because it does not perceive the variation of the aperture. However, the lens is very usable at f3.5, where it has an "ideal" depth of field for me and allows you to get excellent blurs. From 0 to 10: a 9 deserved as optical performance, a 7 and 1/2 as "usability" on reflex cameras. I've never used it on ML... I have Fuji with which you can mount it with adapter, but I'm afraid the crop factor would humiliate the yield. PLEASE NOTE: on more than a few occasions, outdoors, more or less accentuated flare phenomena appear in the portrait... but if you are "lucky", or good, and you manage to take the shot without residual and parasitic lights, the Jupiter churns out a tonal - chromatic rendition, a sharpness and a blur that will be two notches above any heavy and bulky zoommon three times as much! |
 | sent on 18 Settembre 2024 Pros: mechanical construction - sharpness - bokeh - 12-blade diaphragm Cons: Flare Opinion: Excellent and cheap lens built very well; the main quality is in my opinion a very good blur, the main defect is a very strong tendency to produce flare as soon as there are strong lights in the frame (you don't need direct sunlight, but also for example a certain portion of light gray sky in the frame produces a visible haze), and mine is the MC version. Good sharpness already at TA, excellent at f/5.6. Be careful when buying the oil on the reeds (very frequent) because I have an idea that it worsens the internal reflections and therefore the flare. Highly recommended. |
  | sent on 21 Maggio 2024 Pros: Construction, vintage flavor, sharpness, bokeh, flare, price Cons: Dim Opinion: My first vintage lens. Bought a couple of years ago and mounted on my Nikon D3500 it moved me from the first photo. Colors and dough with a vintage flavor impossible to find in modern optics. Amazing creamy bokeh and excellent sharpness even at 3.5. To point out, but I consider it a strength of the lens. The construction is of fine workmanship, completely made of metal with the focus ring that is smooth and pleasant to operate. The price is ridiculous, absolutely to be bought with your eyes closed. |

 | sent on 09 Gennaio 2022 Pros: All metal construction, small, elegant, sharp, great colors, smooth rings Cons: Nothing for the price but manual focusing after years of autofocus requires some attention and adaptation. Opinion: It cost me 65 euros including shipping from distant Russia. It arrived in a month perfectly packed. I use it on micro 4/3 with an adapter of about 10 euros bought in China that I also use for other vintage lenses. The lens I received is in perfect condition without any sign of wear, it looks new. The rings are fluid but hard enough and very convenient to use both for apertures (without shots) and for focusing. The lens is small even with the adapter and seems made especially for the micro 4/3, in my case the G80. It is very sharp, the colors are warm and the blurred very nice. It is good for portraits and flora thanks to the beautiful blurred but also for street and landscapes. Recommended without reservations. |
 | sent on 01 Luglio 2021 Pros: Bokeh, sharpness, colors, construction Cons: flares, flares, flares Opinion: Removed the backlight flare also present with mounted lampshon, otherwise I fell in love with it, precise focus ring, nesting even at full opening to envy to newer designed, opening F 3.5 does not make it a very bright lens but, for my use it is more than fine, Bokeh amazing, I often carry it with me mounted on XT3 for my landscape outings |
 | sent on 05 Gennaio 2021 Pros: Sharpness, colors, 12-slat diaphragm, with continuous movement, smooth and precise focus ring. Cons: It suffers the backlight and needs a light. Opinion: Taken yesterday out of simple curiosity in the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The guy who sold it to me had built him a handcrafted lampshed done very well I would say, given the ease of assembly and efficiency. 12-slat diaphragm, excellent manual focus, precise and of the right fluidity. Out-of-focus light points always with perfect rims that you can't count the sides, at least up to F/8. Well, I wanted to compare it with two giants of the same focal length, zeiss apo sonnar 135 f/2 and sigma art 135 f/1.8. I would have expected, as is rightly reliable given the cost of the two giant (11 to 13 times the price of jupiter) a remarkable difference that was not in all respects. Saturated colors, high sharpness, pleasantly rounded blurry but with less detachment of planes and less open shadows. The home trials I did were a short distance away and at least in this situation the ugly duckling behaved very well, given the derisory market price I would give a nice 10 cum Laude. |
 | sent on 23 Marzo 2020 Pros: Solidity, image quality Cons: for the cost of virtually nothing. Opinion: My first vintage lens, in the days of analogue, taken together with a Russian 2x multiplier. Excellent yield, in many cases superior to Sonnar 135/3.5. The version I had was the one with the metal lampshade. a real tank. I sold it, but regret it, I then reapply it, but in the plastic lamp version, unfortunately. Excellent lens, excellent color rendering, good sharpness and excellent construction, an armored tank. In both specimens I found lubricant among the diaphragm blades. The 11-bladed diaphragm allows a perfectly circular shape of the same, allowing a high-quality blurred one in all situations. Optical absolutely to have. |
 | sent on 30 Dicembre 2019 Pros: Everything, portability, handling, sharpness, robustness, price on the market Cons: Nothing Opinion: A dated but exceptional lens, better than the more modern f4, it is a compact and lightweight lens, although entirely made of metal (including the lampshade), the MAF is precise with long diaphragm, the diaphragms are perfect and the relative dial is optimally positioned not to may be moved unintentionally. The colors are warm and intense, the sharpness is great. Tried on Fujifilm bodies its yield was outstanding. For the price you pay, a few tens of euros (sometimes very few) do not have to miss it. |
 | sent on 27 Novembre 2019 Pros: Light, manageable, sharpness, blurred quality, colors, love at first sight, manual focus. Cons: Manual focus, it does not cost so much, it is not 1.2, it does not weigh much, it does not have the built-in lampshade, it does not make coffee. Opinion: Light lens, with great value for money. Although it is a 3.5 it very detaches the subject and makes a very good blur. He never let me down. If he has hard dials, bring him into assistance, but it's usually fine. The quality of the colors, the blurred and the sharpness in my opinion are great. It's a lens to have or to try, very fun even for the results. It can be adapted on all machine bodies given the M42 screw attack. |
 | sent on 26 Settembre 2017 Pros: Sharpness, construction, focus ring Cons: Opening 3.5, backlight resistance Opinion: It is sostanzialemten one of the many Zeiss clones, but with low quality lenses and virtually non-existent reflex treatment, in fact it is a lens already solving at TA but in backlight very little contrasted; On APS-C format usable in internal already in TA, external closed from 5.6 onwards, it suffers in ta of obvious AC, while working well already in TA without chromatic aberrations on FF; On Nikon without mod the draught allows us to take American cut on APS-C, full length on FF; Ultimately honest lens that can be useful to have in the kit for little money. |

| sent on 30 Aprile 2016 Pros: Management diaphragms - small size - quality and optical performance - price Cons: slightly heavy (410g) - basically tough adjustment maf Opinion: Given the fact that it is not valuable perspective as it could be a one Zeiss or Leica 135 of last generation and even equal to many other modern 135mm models, well-adjusted, and far price, this Jupiter-37 still looks good at all, as it provides a more than fine risolvenza, with AC not exaggerated and above all a surrender "noble" and worthy of Sonnar, from which the pattern of Russo.rnLa management preset aperture is functional single ring and you can then set the aperture of the selected job to then manage the focus with a quick movement, or it can be useful to use the preset as a closing upper limit of the diaphragm, consisting of 12 well plates (already excellent, to remain circular points light out of focus) .rnLa optical yield is subjectively rather charming, soft enough on the rear blurry as on the front, you can a resolution and a detail, on the fire floor, really unexpected andall without close too the shadows like many modern objectives and contrasted, who allow themselves to escape in my opinion far too much luce.rnIn situations backlight limit, however, suffers from a significant AC, but significantly lower than many other higher priced lenses, then providing it with the right lens hood and closing the aperture from f / 5 to f / 9 shows a significant yield spessore.rnPer me is a superconsigliata lens, suitable for many kinds and sufficiently economical and yet easy to find on the used market. |
 | sent on 30 Aprile 2016 Pros: Construction, size, sharpness and price Cons: weight flare. Opinion: I took the time to give an opinion on this glass: I love it. rnNon is a simple lens or to describe or to use, a lot of suffering for backlight (at least my version does not mc), the focus has to be very precise because the ring is long and is a little 'heavy, all-metal. Down to deal with the foregoing are only enormous satisfaction, defined image and high contrast to already af 5.6, excellent for portraits as it gives a very good background to TA, generally one of the top 135 for value for money; let's face it, for 50/80 Euros you can not get any better. Probably in the future I will tend to use it less because I'm going to take the 135 leica, but unlike many other lenses that I had not sell it, when I decide to go out by mounting the M42 ring with me there will certainly be the three optical inalienable helios, mir-1 well jupiter! |
 | sent on 17 Febbraio 2015 Pros: Sharpness-Bokeh-Content-Robustness-Lens hood supplied Cons: My specimen had the MAF retainer at infinity positioned too early-"Soviet" finishes-suffers the backlight Opinion: I have for some time this excellent tele, in the version AM (multicoated). Basically copied from the well-known Sonnar 135/3.5. It is Not a prestigious perspective, let alone very bright. But I think it's really balanced. Sharp (It also performs well on Eos50D, notoriously "difficult"), with slightly cold colors and with a blurry fear. A bit difficult to use due to the little demultiplied MAF ring nut and the aperture ring without clicks. With Four money, however, you bring home a lens that guarantees significant results. My specimen was not in infinity, the ring retainer was positioned too early. I disassembled and I simply Elimianato, the ideal would be to move it by a degree, taking advantage also to clean and lubricate with modern grease... The maintenance is really simple. The construction is typically "Soviet old school": only and exclusively metal, but some finishes not top (like the lubricant inside the barrel). The weight I think is average, the dimensions are rather contained. Given The price I would say it is a ' must have '. Ah then... I haven't got to try (I don't have Nikon and I don't feel like it) but I think this is one of the few M42 lenses that via a small reversible modification can focus on infinity without additional lens on Nikon and similar, since it is possible to vary by 2-3mm the S-draw The MAF group with respect to the optical assembly is easily shifted by some threads. |
 | sent on 26 Giugno 2013 Pros: Colors, bokhen, sharpness, compatteza, weight, fluidity of the rings Cons: brightness (f3.5 is honest, but not outstanding, for a species as fixed), suffers terribly backlighting, pre-selection aperture ring is not semi-automatic as in Helios. of 40D + battery grip is sbilanciatissimo (but on the other hand is perfect zenith 122) Opinion: not to mention the utter disaster that offers backlit, I think this is one of the best Russian targets coming out of the gates of the KZM. fabulous colors, blurred wonderful (and with 12 slats do not see how it could be otherwise), excellent sharpness. with an extension cord allows the "almost-macro" with unfocused and superb colors. my best images of flora I got them with just this obiettivo.rnusandolo on a 40D I have no idea how it behaves on FF digital, but speaking of film, that is all that is written above. |
