The Jupiter 12 is a nice lens, mine does get a bit blurry towards the bottom corners. The auxiliary finder is a generic Japanese 'tele-wide' job, it works pretty well actually as a composition aid.

Nice pics!!
Do you have pictures made with this Jupiter to show?
I heard bad things about this lens having a lot of bad copies around. So I am hesitating about buying one for my Kiev.

While I don't think my copy is the best it isn't a total disaster either. I buy mine from a local camera repairman, who sells cameras at a camera show I go to.

Looks nice. I don't see the corner problem that you mention.

Thanks, it's interesting reading.
OF course I know that Jupiter-12 can be no Biogon  but it costs 10 times less... so can be a nice way to start.

This could be my cam, really looks like it, just my J12 is silver and the add-on viewfinder (Japanese Helios?) is now used by Peter. 
Anyway, good cam, very nice viewfinder and a great lens!!

Yes, it's very nice, the acc vf makes a huge difference.
I looked through all my pics, and I see what I describe in a very few... so it looks to be situational, probably some combination of vignetting / flare / more open aperture / less than infinity focus. Funny how I'd latched onto that idea based on a minority of images.

In the second image, that is the most parallel to ground 8even if not completely) you can see a more than decent control of the distortion.

Although this is more an 'interesting' photo than one designed to highlight performance, this is horizontally level and contains verticals for the distortion.
