If Jupiter 11 135/F4 lens have dust particles inside, is it possible to take these apart to blow the dust out? How hard of a process is it? Do they just screw apart like the Helios 44 M39 lens or there are tiny screws that need to be taken out and diaphragm disassembled?
Thanks,
Vlad |

Hi Vlad, check in the Russ Pinchbeck´s Kiev Survival Site. He has complete instructions on how to do it. Important: he covers the Contax / Kiev variety not the M39 lenses which are different in regard of the rangefinder coupling (The Contax style is a rotating tube and the M39 lens has a sliding inner cylinder).
Hope this helps and thah lens construction is similar.

Ernesto,
Thank for the pointer! I will check out that book.. I do not have it, so if you have it and read it, do you know offhand if it's a complicated process?
That's all I wanted to know... whether it's a Helios 44-like construction where you can just unscrew everything by hand or, there are screws involved?
I do not have the lens either, I see it much cheaper sold with "dust particles" inside lenses that's why I'm asking, to save a few bucks and use some elbow grease :), just not sure if it's worth it.
Thanks,
Vlad |

First series Helios 44, Jupiter 9, Jupiter 11 and Telemar 22 (M39 or M42), share the same construction scheme. Jupiter 11 with 49mm screw thread (rare) has a diferent mount system It is locked by a nut with a locking screw just in the thread.

So what you're saying they can just screw apart by hand? All right! Thank Luiz! I may just purchase these then!

Vlad: Russ Pinchbeck´s Kiev Survival site isn´t a book, it´s better as it is his website. When in google, type Kiev Survival Site or Russ Pinchbeck and you´re there.
I guess, but I´m not sure, the three J 11 versions (C-K mount, M39 and M42) share a lot in common about how they´re built.
Cheers

Whoa! That's exactly what I needed, this is the most detailed lens disassembly tutorial I've ever seen! I've added the site to our resources section. Thanks a lot for it!
For others in case they want to see what I'm talking about:
