Jupiter-3 - Sourcing my Perfect Soviet Lens with a bit of Help From Skyllaney - By Sasha Tsyrlin - 35mmc

My first memory of a camera goes back to my childhood in USSR and me holding my grandfather's Zorki or FED (I don’t remember which). I remember looking through a Soviet Universal turret “revolver” viewfinder. I really liked rotating it and seeing different image sizes as the viewfinder changed for the different focal lengths. I really don’t remember what lens my grandfather’s camera had, but I imagine it had to be a Jupiter of sorts.
