Kiev 4 "T" camera

So how is it compared to another 8M?
What about weight? It could tell something if weight is different between T and non-T (other metal used)

I have just found 66g for a 1963 jup 8 and 82g for a 1976 8M, in the same condition as Jed's picts. But probably, it does not mean much: these two lenses are not of the same generation.

Anyway, when I compare them, the dimensions are the same. Only the coatings are really different. And there is on my 8M the same protecting ring as on Jed's one. This ring doesn't exist on the Jup 8.

It's all I can say...
Amitiйs. Jacques.

Lens coating in comparison with another J8M :



Pierre, I believe you're located in Paris. I may show the lens to you If needed

Some screws aren't painted in black, quite uncommon.

If you compare your two 8M lenses, Jean, are there visible differences concerning the dimensions? The weight?

Except for the coating, of course!

Hi Jacques,
No visible differences. Will tell about the weight tomorrow ;)

I fear I won't be usefull, I'm not specialist of those rangefinder lenses. But the idea to meet is good, maybe to show each other interestings things . But again, I have few Kiev and lenses to mount on them

Interesting, these screws. On my Kievs, they are always black painted.
Are there other visible differences, if you compare with your other numerous Kievs, Jed?

Hi,

Jupiter 8m T is 122 g
Jupiter 8M is 129 g

PS : Pierre you're welcome if you like to see my Kiev collection ;)

With the mount, I suppose? My measures were without anything.
