I have just been offered a zorli 4 with a Jupiter zoom lens. Its too far from me to look at, but as I'm new to zorki', although I had one many moons ago, I didn't know such a lens existed. It must be a rarity. Worth buying?

Hello Derek

The brand "Jupiter" was used in the USSR but later also in other markets as far as I believe to remember. Maybe it's just an adapted M42 lens made in Taiwan? More informations about or pictures of this lens would be helpful.

Best wishes - Guido

I've been sent a picture, but I'm not sure how to attach it to this post. See what I can do. Appreciate your advice
