Subject: 50mm Jupiter 8

I've got one of these 50mm Jupiter 8 lenses, black barrel,
multicoated optics, screw mount, in good condition.  It came
with a Zorki-4 which I also have.  Are these worth anything to
anybody?  Now that I have an M6 with a 50 Summicron I can't
see myself using these any more, so to save space they'll
have to go.

I've also got an old (1958 I think) 90mm Elmar - did I remember
correctly someone recently saying that the 3-element version
of this is becoming rare?  I think mine may be 3 element - it stops
down to f22 which I seem to recall Marc saying was a critereon.
It's a chrome LTM lens which I use on an M adaptor, but if anyone
wants to swap this rare item for one of the common 75 Summilux
or 90 Elmarit/Summicrons I'd be only too happy to oblige!  ;-)


Simon.
