Overview
Step into the world of cinematic portraiture with the legendary Jupiter-9 85mm f/2. Housed in a stunning, classic silver metal barrel, this vintage Soviet prime is a direct evolution of the famed Carl Zeiss Sonnar 85mm optical formula.
⚠️ PLEASE READ: CONDITION NOTE (SOLD AS-IS) ⚠️
This lens is being sold at a discounted rate due to cosmetic flaws (micro-scratches) on the front glass. However, it is fully functional mechanically and comes fully adapted and ready to shoot on modern Canon RF mirrorless cameras (EOS R, R5, R6, RP, etc.). This makes it a fantastic budget option for experimental portrait shooters and video makers who want that 15-blade Sonnar character without paying a premium collector's price.
Why This Specific Lens Stands Out:
• Ready for Canon RF: Includes a high-quality Contax/Kiev Rangefinder to Canon RF mount adapter, allowing you to mount this classic directly to your modern camera with precise infinity focus.
• 15-Blade Aperture: A true masterpiece of mechanical design. The 15-blade iris ensures that your bokeh highlights remain perfectly circular and buttery-smooth at any aperture setting.
• Sonnar Magic: Delivers the coveted "3D pop" and painterly background blur inherent to the classic Sonnar optical design.
Compatibility
• Native Mount: Contax / Kiev Rangefinder (Outer Bayonet).
• Adapted: Works flawlessly on Canon RF mirrorless systems using the included adapter.
Technical Specifications:
• Focal Length: 85mm
• Aperture Range: f/2 – f/22
• Lens Mount: Contax/Kiev RF (Canon RF adapter included)
• Optical Design: 7 elements in 3 groups (Sonnar formula)
• Aperture Blades: 15 (Perfectly circular)
• Weight: 379 g (13.4 oz)
• Manufacturer: USSR (S/N: 6109886)
• Focus Type: Manual Focus Only
Condition Report (AS-IS)
• Optics (Read Carefully): The rear element is perfectly clean and clear. The front element has several superficial micro-scratches (cleaning marks). While these front scratches generally have minimal impact on 85mm portraiture, the lens is strictly sold AS-IS with no returns based on optical condition. There is absolutely no fungus, no haze, and no separation.
• Mechanics: Fully tested and in excellent working order. The manual focus ring turns very smoothly. The 15-blade aperture mechanism functions perfectly and the blades are completely clean and free of oil.
• Cosmetics: Beautiful vintage condition. The silver barrel shows only minor signs of careful use, completely consistent with a well-maintained classic lens.
