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.
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.
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.
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.
Pros:Sharpness extraordinary already 3.5 very flexible continuous diaphragm making precise micrometric fire all metal construction
Cons:He suffers backlit and recommended constant hood
Opinion:I am in possession of the model 37 A thread m42 I use it recently on nikon after years of inactivity, I discovered that by removing the M42 support with three small screws that block it and placing a nikon t2 graft, after having removed the thread fits lens and keeps the focus to infinity, I can not help but most fantastic razor sharp this point, I recommend it especially to the great portraitists of focus. ... With no plug nikon lens correction .... Good pictures ...

Opinion:I am in possession of the model M44 to thread m42 I use it recently on nikon after years of inactivity, I discovered that by removing the M42 support with three small screws that block it and placing a nikon t2 graft, after having removed the thread fits lens and keeps the focus to infinity, I can not help but be more in fantastic razor sharp this point, I recommend it especially to ritrsttisti very blurry.
Pros:I agree with The occhiod: diaphragms management - small size - quality and optical performance - price
Cons:I can not find again
Opinion:This optical already friends under have given consistent and detailed descriptions .Aggiungo that I was fascinated: a unique bokeh (12 blades), unexpected sharpness, MAF straordinaria.Il price is abbordabilissimo: taken directly to Ukraine with bayonet-mounted Nikon (then ability to focus when focus to infinity) to 60 euro including spedizione.Che say .... still buy it and enjoy it because there will be fun ... 10 votes

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.
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!
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.
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.
