Jupiter 37 3.5 / 135mm
MC-Jupiter 37AM 3.5 / 135mm bought on eBay on august 23rd, 2008 for 59$ + 15$sending fees
Provided with it's sunshade and certificate (in Russian) in it's plastic box with screwed cap. The conception of this lens seems to correspond to a desire of creating a "modernized" version of Jupiter 11 (it's design is very close to the one of Jupiter 11A, and shorter by a few millimeters).
I bought theoretically the latest version (multicoated, the AM should be a "light" version of the A), the first trials are not fantastic: The optical quality is less good, and a disastrous "flare" effect appears in the same conditions as for Telemar 22A (a rose in front of a bright strongly lit wall), also due to reflections on internal parts of the mount. Under the same conditions, the Jupiter 11, which has no multicoating, causes no problem.
With the sunshade in place; small decline compared to Jupiter 11: this sunshade is not provided with a thread allowing to screw it in reverse position for storage.

I chosed the cheapest one, so no caps, broken box, very used aspect. But the optical part is perfect and the focusing is smooth.
Older version, without multicoating, wearing the USSR quality logo. The difference in weight with the AM is 3g, this history of"light" version does not in any case concern the weight...I did not see a difference in optical quality with the "MC" version, which supports my idea that it is unnecessary to systematically search the multicoated version of Soviet optics.
