Let me introduce to you my new best friend...the Jupiter 11 Very Happy



I received this a week ago and couldn't wait to take it out for a test run! Just a few snaps for now, and a cheeky bokeh test against the Pentacon 135 preset at the end, just for fun!



















And for the bokeh test:

The current champion - Pentacon 135/2.8 preset:



The new (old!) challenger, the Jupiter 11 135/4 preset:



OK, the Pentacon still wins the bokeh test (even with the wonky bin), but as for the Jupiter? Me LIKEY LIKEY!!! Plus it performed far better wide open Very Happy

Very nice!

I'm looking to pick up a few Jupiter lenses. Unfortunately, shipping to the States kills the deal on these lenses.
