I just received a Jupiter 12 35mm f2.8 that I purchased on ebay.
The seller listed it as M39, but what I got is in (I think) a Contax RF mount.
I can return it, but would rather find an adapter that will allow me to use it on a Sony A7 RII.
Can any of you give me some advice about what to get?
Thanks!

look at my website www.a7camera.com and you will find the adapter as well as the lens. the lens isn't too good on a digital sensor. on my a7 it just doesn't touch the sensor, but it's quite close. the adapter is not cheap, as vlad said. there are russian sellers which do good work and are cheaper. search for "nex contax rf adapter" and you will find them. I have bought 2 from grandseller, they came with a free lens each. he was reliable to me (greetings from xya if you buy from him). if you want to buy more lenses, the contax mount versions of famous zeiss lenses or their russian equivalent are much cheaper than the M39 versions...

| You're welcome. I second grandseller, had good experience with him as well. One of my favorites to shoot on the Sony was Jupiter-9, it was also on the contax adapter, using an outer mount. |

| Well most advice on the adapter has been given. Getting a Kiev if you decide to keep the lens is a nice thing too. :) |
