M39(for rangefinder cameras) standard lenses

ZK 50mm f1.5

The ZK 50mm/1.5 lens is only found on FED/Zorki cameras and was probably made from Zeiss parts. It has little tabs on the aperture ring just like the Zeiss lenses and is in fixed mount. ZK stands for Zonnar Krasnagorsk.

ZK Zorkii 50mm f1.5

The ZK Zorkii 50mm/1.5 lens is only found on FED/Zorki cameras and was probably made from Zeiss parts. It is not collapsable. ZK stands for Zonnar Krasnagorsk. This lens became the Jupiter 3.

ZK 50mm f2.0

The ZK lens is only found on FED/Zorki cameras and was probably made from Zeiss parts. It is in an aluminum collapsible mount which does not fit the cameras well. It has little tabs on the aperture ring just like the Zeiss lenses. ZK stands for Zonnar Krasnagorsk. There were a small number of these lenses made in fixed mount just before the name was changed to Jupiter 8.

The ZK Zorkii lens is only found on FED/Zorki cameras and was probably made from Zeiss parts. It is in an aluminum collapsible mount which does not fit the cameras well. ZK stands for Zonnar Krasnagorsk. The lens appears to be a Contax mount lens that has been modified to have a leica thread lens mount.This lens became the Jupiter 8.
