cant go wrong if it only cost you a $100 😀

like heart0less said it may or may not affect the image. If its close to the side depending on your final aspect ratio, it may get cropped out any way.

 I also figure, worst case, If need be, I wait to find one for parts, and replace the back lense.

All in all:
Is this lens really that much of a bargain? Do you enjoy having some organic flaws in your image?

If the answer to these questions is 'yes', then go for it.

 

Well, i just won the auction for $100

Won an eiki 16f in ebay for $200 shipped. Supoosedly in almost new condition.

I know they're similar to the Sankor 16f. 

How does it compare to a Sankor 16C?

Will this small cop in the rear element of a Sankor C effect the image? 

How do the single focus Bell & Howell and Sankor C compare to each other. 

Does anyone have experience with both. Wondering about sharpness and lens flare etc.

Surely, there is. 

This one, e.g.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1413094-REG/fotodiox_m39_mft_lens_mount_adapter_for.html

It cannot be any thicker / higher than that. 

It's not properly advertised since it's more of a L39 (which isn't the same as M39) to MFT adapter, but what can we do.. 

Bear in mind you won't be able to use Russian M39 lenses with this adapter, even though they would mount perfectly - once again, different flange distance. 

I only want it for the Jupiter 8.

Thanks for the info.

That's because this Jupiter isn't a normal M39x1 mount.

It's actually a Leica M39×26tpi aka L39

Since it's meant for rangefinder cameras, its flange distance is so short that you won't be able to use it on a DSLR.
If you put it on a mirrorless camera, it'll work just fine.

 

 

I want to use it with my BMPCC 4k. It has an MFT mount. Is there an adapter I can get for it?

I have Jupiter 8 lens that  won't focus at all.

I'm using it with an M39 to EF adapter.

The only thing it will focus on, is extreme close up. Like a crazy macro lens.

I've been using the XTPower 20000 fir over a year. They are identical to the juicebox, for less money.
