Jupiter-9 (Kiev)

  

PT7505. Seems to be an earliest version of "Jupiter-9" lens. Under initial name "ZK-85" ("Sonnar Kransogorsk"). Very few lenses released by KMZ in 1948-1949. These first samples are totally assembled from Zeiss (Germany) optical glasses. Focal length - 8.5 cm, aperture range f2 - f22. Focusing range from 1.15 m to infinity. Number of elements/groups: 7/3.  Angular field - 28º. Kiev (Contax) mount. An earliest so far known lens has s/n #000007 1948 (Y.Davydenko coll.).

 

Sample opposite from Yuriy Davydenko (Ukraine) collection.

PT7510. Identical to PT7505 with slightly changed body design. Very few lenses released by KMZ in 1948-1949. These first samples are totally assembled from Zeiss (Germany) optical glasses. Lens #000220 opposite from private collection in Russia.





PT7515. Almost identical to its predecessor "ZK-85" (PT7505), but under name "ZK Zorki" already. Very limited batch of these lenses released by KMZ in 1949-1950. Partially or totally assembled from Zeiss (Germany) optical glasses. Still ultra rare to find nowadays.

PT7555. An ultra rare to find earliest version of Jupiter-9, released by Arsenal in 1957. Under new name "Rekord-9". Prototype lens with s/n #570001 is known to exist in collection (for more information - see "Rekord-9 2.0/85" in the list).

PT7560. Another version, released by Arsenal (Ukraine) in 1957-1963. Front ring is totally black already, so it's easy to recognize this version amongst other J-9 lenses. There's no "No" prefix in serial number. 6-digits serial number, instead of 7-digits in other versions. Almost visually identical to PT7540 (see comparison picture below). An earliest known lens has s/n #570091 (J.Ford coll.)
