Jupiter-12. 35mm f2.8. URL for Schematic?

[Malcolm_Stewart]

I have two of these lenses, Jupiter-12 in both Kiev & Zorki fittings, and am intrigued by how the lens elements must be arranged, (see 3rd. image - it nearly touches the film) so I've been looking for a schematic diagram. The lens elements appear not to be encased in a metal tube.
It's reckoned to be a Russian copy of the pre-war Carl Zeiss Biogon 35 f2.8 and I've searched for this as well.


Sources tried include
"Photographic Optics" by Arthur Cox, 13th. edition, 1966. Listed, but diagram is obviously for a different lens.
Google using diagram, schematic etc.


So far I've drawn a blank - just hoping that someone here can help.

Many thanks

Here's a link showing the dismantling of the lens - may be of some use:

Many thanks - an excellent start, and intriguing views of lenses etc. in their underwear!

Only pictures I can find from M. Wilkinson and C. Glanfield "A lens collector's vade mecum" There's pages of text of course. No photos of USSR lenses.

Roger, thanks - that's a new source for me.

I've continued digging around, and have just found this site: USSR Photo. It's got precisely what I'm looking for in a downloadable .doc file covering the Jupiter-9, 85 f2. Unfortunately, nothing further for the 35 f2.8.

Regarding the similarity between the Zeiss Biogon and Jupiter, the Russians actually ripped out most of the equipment at Carl Zeiss (Jena) and shipped it into the USSR.

Unfortunately the Jupiter 12 may be the one lens not covered
However it does have other 135 f/2.8s
