<p>Thanks Steve! Unfortunately nowadays it is difficult to find good SSSR rangefinder in my Serbia... and costs for transport from eBay can be as much as some solid digital (Serbia isn't in EU, yet) But I will try to find new lens.</p>

<p>I downloaded the manual. After I read carefuly I recognized my Jupiter 8 as 4th type. In past an hour I demounted lens, but I just relubricated and then remounted it a minute ago. Well, problem is much deeper, now I think that this J8 fabricated wrong. It seems that some '62 series were "trash" (I conclude that in chat with my friend, SSSR camera collector). My J8 is No6261633, so suggesting everyone first to check 62##### series...</p>

<p>I decided to just buy another lens.</p>

<p>Well James, I'll do it too :-)<br>

<br /> Thanks James! And sorry if my English isn't good (enough understandable) :-)</p>

<p>Hi rangefinder comunity ;-) I have a problem with Jupiter 8 lens on Zorki 4. Lens was bad serviced before I bought that, I think, and distance and F-stop rings are unsynchronized with "depth of field scale" (the ring between distance and F rings). So, when I set to f/2, the scale shows ~f/2.8, and if I set to f/22 the scale shows more than 22. Also, when I focusing 1m distant object the distance scale shows a few meters, and vice versa. There is need of extra force to focusing, so I think that I should lubricate somehow... I desperately need help because this is my first Zorky and my entrance to rangefinder world.</p>
