JUPITER-13(125/1.5) Rare soviet lens (samples)

[SERGE TLT]

Probably it is a lens clone of Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 125 /1.5
It was necessary to make a self-made camera

[Stephane]

The lens/you/model did very well (especially the 1st one), but the bigoudies did not ;)

[seven]

so, what format is this ? what does the lens cover ?

[Steve M Hostetter]

yeah and how much do you want for it?

[SERGE TLT]

Stephane
:-)
seven,
it s 4x5 . vignette in corners is on a distance from 10 meters indefinitely. I will make examples later.Strongly depends on a shooting distancey depends on a shooting distance.On a portrait range there is no on what a lens and is applied.

Steve M Hostetter
I don't sell the lens. I very much liked the first results and will remove further on it. I have bought it for 500 $

[monkeymon]

Jupiter-13, this is just too much! I have been drooling over this on ebay for weeks, and now.. sample fotos. goddamn

[Morca]

Very nice photos, I can see good things in this lens' future.

[kedbro]

Serge - don't stop shooting. These look great and I want to see more!

[GPS]

As far as I know it was a cinema lens. What shutter did you use on it?

[SERGE TLT]

Sinar-Copal

[jb7]

She looks like great fun, so does the lens...

How about a look at this 'self build camera'?

[halberstadt]

Perhaps this is a dumb question: but the lens has a serial number of 0531, aren't Soviet lenses first two digits the year of production? Either way 1905 or 2005 appears way too old or too new.

Serg

Terrific Shots! Really like the qualities of that big chunk of glass.

Thanks for sharing

BTW- Your Girl is Terrific as well & great in front of the camera. Your a lucky man.:)

Peace

[tbeaman]

Delicious!

I haven't even gotten to try my Xenotar 150 yet, and I'm already jealous of another lens! I'd love to learn more about this one.

[SERGE TLT]

jb7
but now I have no digital camera to show a design. I will try to draw the sketch

halberstadt
If I am not mistaken, such system has been entered in the early sixties and the quantity of figures in such number was about eight

Louis
Thanks. Yes it is the tremendous girl. It well poses though has started it to do only for me more recently. There are some portraits in a theme with examples on Petzval

tbeaman
I will continue to make photos on this lens!!! I won't sell it!!! Unfortunately in Russia the winter therefore in the street begins it was not possible while. But I promise not to forget this branch on a site.
And I too don't remove now on mine Fuji 250/6.3 (good lens!!!)

I love all of these! It's not just the lens (or model) either. You always use beautiful color palettes.

Don't worry, buying it wasn't my intention! Just admiration. And solidarity, as our own winter will soon be here.

[Jay DeFehr]

I love fast lenses, and your work with this one looks great! I wonder if it would focus on my 3x4 Graflex? That could be fantastic!

[davkt]

As tbeaman says fantastic colour in great pictures. What film have you used?

[SERGE TLT]

tbeaman merci :-)

Jay DeFehr
It is almost impossible. At this lens the (flange distance???? bad english. sorry :-)) is equal approximately 60 millimeters. But still it is necessary to insert a shutter and a lens board. It is necessary to do Wide Angle Bag Bellows. I couldn't attach on Toyo Field 45. I will try to make photos of my self-made camera

davkt
This illumination from a usual ( lamp of an incandescence?) mixed with light from a window . It not luminescent light !!! At us here progress isn't present. We use old technologies :-) It is Russia... Film it's Velvia 50

[davkt]

Thanks, I was guessing Velvia from the richness of the colours and yes tungsten incandescent lights do seem good at adding warmth to any photos, film or digital.

[SERGE TLT]

These lamps still clean excessive bluishness on a slide

[Jay DeFehr]

Thanks, Serge. It's a great lens, and you do great work with it.

[SERGE TLT]

I need ND filter. At my shutter speed 1/60 sec. It is impossible to remove on an open diaphragm.And shot corners vignette on distances from 5 meters. Therefore it is better to photograph portraits on smaller distances

[Iga]

Hi Serge !
I expected snow in Togliatti in the end of November ?
Best wishes,
Igor.

[SERGE TLT]

Salut Igor,
it not November. It is October. Time wasn't to publish this sample :-)

[mopho_barry]

What camera were you able to attach it to? Does anyone know how to convert the M80 mount to any other mount? Beautiful images.

[cpercy]

Try taking a picture of the camera in a mirror no digital camera necessary.

[SERGE TLT]

I'm sorry. I have been a little occupied. Here what has made a self-made camera under this lens. If there will be questions that is ready to answer

[mamypoko]

Hey Serge, thanks for the pictures, I am looking at this lens (I love fast lenses).

I wonder how do you mount the lens onto the camera?

[SERGE TLT]

Salut mamypoko

I have made the plastic adapter from sheet ABS. I will make more detailed photos

[mamypoko]

Thank you Serge,

The flange focus distance seems to be even shorter than my 65mm!


Salut mamypoko

I have made the plastic adapter from sheet ABS. I will make more detailed photos

[SERGE TLT]

for manufacturing of all adapters I used the plastic sheets ABS. It is easy for knifing to receive necessary details. After that it is necessary to stick together them. Here the main problem that doesn't exist good glue for this material. It can be made most. it is necessary to make small ABS shavings of plastic (as cheese for a pizza) and to dissolve this shaving in acetone. The mix as a toothpaste of black color turns out. This mix also it is possible to glue. Should dry not less than 24 hours only.

Thank you for sharing, I just got a Schneider Gottingen myself, will see how to mount it on my Speed Graphic.

I have Schneider Gottingen Xenon 125/2 . his circle of coverage is less than 4x5

[Dan Fromm]

The 125/2 Xenon was made for an aerial camera (Volk Handkammer) that shot 6x6 on 70 mm film. It doesn't have cover more than 80 mm. That it doesn't cover much more than 80 mm isn't a surprise.

7x9cm, as I recall.

[Dan Fromm]

Oh no! Wrong again. Thanks very much for the correction.

[Corran]

I have a 12.5cm f/2 as well but the rear group was toast. I discovered that using just the front cell makes it something like a 360mm telephoto with 250mm bellows draw f/5.6 soft-focus lens. Kinda neat on my Speed Graphic but a little longer than I like so I'll probably sell it as a one-off camera on ebay soon.

Seeing these pictures I wish I could have done what I wanted and used it for a fast wide-angle! The fall-off doesn't bother me.

[Jason Greenberg Motamedi]

It is a rare treat to be able to correct you Dan.

This lens not rare and inexpensive. It is possible to buy still. And it sharp enough but contrast small, but it is easy for correcting in the computer

[Corran]

Prices are all over the place on ebay. I would like one but not at the prices they go for now. Maybe if I see one cheap enough I'll buy it. The one I have was from overseas but the seller neglected to mention the iris was destroyed and there was a missing element.

I too had problems with iris.I I disassembled the lens and repaired. I bought for 100$ approximately. Now saw offers for 150$
