John, thanks, but in the sentence before, he says "Due primarily to the 
possibility of hitting the Bessa R2's outer shutter, these lenses are 
NOT recommended"

In other words, HE DOESN'T KNOW but is just covering his ass.

So, does anyone out there KNOW whether the Jupiter-12, 35mm f/2.8 will 
work without damage to either it or the camera on a Bessa R2?
