First J8m for Kiev ?

I was wondering when the Jupiter 8m for Kiev was issued ?
I have both j8 and J8m for year 1958 , but have not seen an earlier J8m .
Can someone enlighten me ?
Mine are from Kiev 4 .
Thanks
dee

Hello Dee, According to Princelle Jupiter 8m was issued in 1957. I've never seen a sample from 1957. My earliest 8m lens s/n is 5804724. Best, Jean
