Jupiter-12 35mm f:2.8 (in Kiev/Contax mount)

The Jupiter-12 is a clone of the Carl Zeiss Jena Biogon 35mm f:2.8. It's an extraordinary little lens with a surprisingly large rear element that extends far into the camera - almost to the film plane/sensor. Vignetting and distortion (pin-cushion) are far less than one might expect. I've corrected the the distortion for presentation of the image, but have hesitated to do to much brightening, as I wished to convey the dim lighting of the exhibition and the tonal range of the original.
