Russian lenses on Leica M camera

[BrianDS]

Darko, thanks for that. I think that what you saw with it being out of focus is exactly right and thanks for validating my hunch. By the way, I really love your gallery--wonderful photos!

I just received a Jupiter 12, but the rear element hits the shutter on my M9. Has anyone been able to use this lens on an M9? My summaron 35mm with eyes went missing along with a 90mm and a 50mm

I use Russian Biogon (first J12 made, but same as after it) on M-E and it was fine on M8. It is totally legit lens on digital M. Make sure your lens is screwed all way in. It doesn't looks like it is on the picture.

I use close up ring, don't think here are extension rings ever made. Rangefinder doesn't works this close and framelines, either.

My J-12 on Nicca IIIa taken with close up ring on J-3 with M-E.
