At the weekend i visited the Pickering War festival, this is a yearly event, where the whole town becomes a 1940's war re-enactment.
So among all the pro Canon users and there very big L lenses i decided to invide with 1 Jap and a Russian.
Weapons of choice Sony Nex, Konica Ar 40mm and the Jupiter 11A 135mm.
Many pro photographer chatted to me about the setup and where bemused that i took this over a big SLR and AF.
All these where from the Jupiter 11A.

Wonderful series. Must have been a terrific day out. You have a very desirable set up and excellent eye

Great series! The Jupiter-11 did pretty well.
My favourites are #3 (love those ladies hats of the 40s!), the Winston Churchill of #6 (not really similar but there is something vaguely resembling, I can't pick what precisely),
and what could be maybe a General Montgomery of #11 (but with a wrong hat? I always saw Montgomery with the beret).
Also #16 looks quite realistic.
Do you have more with the ladies dressed in style? Very Happy
