These pictures were taken with Jupiter-9 2/85 M39 SLR Silver Body.

The lens is made by LZOS in 1966. It's alraedy old, too old with broken aparture blades and many cleaning marks on its front glass.

I used a piece of black paper and made a hole on it and used it as an aparture set instead. It works!!!!

These pics were actually taken by J-9 with paper aparture set and Olympus E-330.

And these were taken by M.O.G. Trioplan 2.8/100 M42 Silver Body.

Same model as above but in different location, different time, and different mood.



















That's all for this model, I don't recall her name, really.

Nice series. My favourite is #1 because I love portraits in backlight.

If you accept a suggestion, next time I would take more vertical (portrait oriented) pictures. Horizontal framing, with decentred subject, really works if there is a visually strong and challenging background (like for instance could be one of those gorgeous ancient temples that you have there).
With anonymous background, I would prefer to fill more of the frame with the model.

Wow, for a lens that messed up this series is incredible!

I think the bokeh in the J-9 even improved with the paper aperture

Excellent series. None of the photos is bad. #4 my favourite.

I am astonished by the way you fixed the J9 with such great results! Shocked

Indeed, a home-made Waterford Stop Smile If I ever get the end-piece removed from the night-scope lens, I'll use something like that.

Tremendous results, pilant.
