Canon 5D and Jupiter-11

Jupiter-11 f4 135mm Russian Lens.
Got this simple tele lens for $44 from Ukraine.
This lens came in two varieties. This being the shorter with a thicker barrel and a very nice purple coating on the lens, resulting in super nice warm orange colored pictures. The other being a longer thinner barrel with a yellowish tint. The other well-known line of the manufacturers' lens (produced by KMZ factory in Krasnogorskare) were the: Industar, Orion, Helios, Mercury,.... etc. (as opposed to this Jupiter) range.

Really nice pictures for the money.
This lens was made in 1950's USSR from the technology that was acquired from Germany after the war.
Pretty remarkable of its era.
Great fun lens here mounted with an M39 adapter on my 5D MKii.
