i like the results this lens gives me, only thing is that it's a heavy lens, but on the other hand because of it's weight it lays in my hand nicely

new samples with E-M5

I tend to think Jupiter 21M is a remarkable lens. Sharp with rich colors. Your photos shows that in abundance.

and it has minimum focus distance of 1,8 m which, i think, is the smallest distance among all my 200mm lenses , so it's almost close focusing, that black and white butterfly almost filled the whole photo

Yes, that's a very good lens.

I'm particularly impressed by the IQ you obtained with the E-M5. Shocked

It stays well in your hand and you make it shine.
Congratulations.

Loved those shots- especially the frog and those of the butterflies.

A very nice lens in very competent hands.

Thanks for showing.

Nice samples.

You'd better get your hands on a Jupiter 21A version. It has all the IQ and performance from the 21M, but is much sleeker and lighter. I had them both for a while, and eventually I let the 21M go, although it was hartbreaking sice I bought is so cheap and it gave me the best moon shots I ever made with stacked TCs.

The 21A has pre-set operation also, which s very nice for the DSLR user.
