william gower asked about the jupiter 85 2.0 --

i have one, chrome, it's pretty big, but light -- (comparitively speaking
i guess) -- monster big piece of glass in the front -- mine has a bubble
right smack in the middle of it about 1mm in diameter -- who can say how
much it affects the image quality. i paid about $69 for it on ebay which
was a bargan for all the times i need to use that focal length (i try and
stick with 28mm or 35mm). it's a fun lens. build quality is not so great
- -- no click stops on the aperture scale focusing in metric only. it's an
okay lens. don't spend too much on one and you wont be terribly sad if you
dent it.
