Famous Russian JUPITER-3 fast portrait lens M39

LEICA THREAD MOUNT (LTM)+ Leica M adapter as gift.

13 rounded aperture blades

Jupiter-3 super-fast lens with coated optics for Leica, Bessa, FED, Zorki and other rangefinder cameras with same lens mount and with same optical registration. 
It was a replica of the German Carl Zeiss Sonnar 1.5/50.

It can be mounted on any LTM RF camera, include modern Bessa cameras, and it can be used with many system mirrorless cameras with the adapter.

At f/1.5 it really is all about the background. For portraits with the background way out of focus you can get very very smooth bokeh.

The Jupiter-3renders very beautiful, flexible image with good contrast and "characteristic" bokeh. The amazing combination of softness and sharpness, as well as beautiful bokeh, made it very popular among portrait photographers. The "german" versions of this lens are especially popular and distinguished for its bokeh.

In the main, most Soviet lenses are exceptionally good and this is no exception!
