For Sale - Sold: Jupiter-9 85mm f2.0

FWIW, if you had this up a couple of days ago - before I decided to go for the DA70 - I'd probably have jumped on this. I think it's great you're selling it with K-mount adapter attached. It's easy enough to find the M42 mount version on Ebay for a similar price, but I never went for it because I knew I'd want to "permanently" attach an adapter as you have done and that was going to make the whole deal too much of a hassle.

So, this is just a free bump (not that you needed it) to reiterate: this is a K-mount 85/2 for $120! Should make someone very happy!

Do you have any pictures taken with this lens? I've been eyeing a M 85 ... but keep thinking that this is half the price

There are quite a few example pictures from various J-9s posted on this forum. The main characteristics of the J-9 are:

A little soft wide open
Sharp when stopped down
Superb bokeh
Beautiful color rendition
Sturdy build
Handling is a bit ponderous
Fairly compact considering the focal length and max aperture

My J-9 is easily one of my favorite lenses and here is one of my favorite pictures taken with my copy:

LZOS Jupiter-9 85/2, probably f/4

I have been wanting one of these for a while--too bad I have myself on an LBA rehab plan. Yep, gonna make someone real happy.

This lens is the real deal - a very fun piece of glass.

Such a fun piece of steel and glass

And a decent macro shooter with the raynox 250 on it...[/SIZE]

I wouldn't have hesitated if I didn't just buy a Zeiss 50/2.8. Sigh. There goes my $.
