I like the results. But tell me, which version did you use?

I tried for close-up work two versions: M39 KMZ for Zorki and M39 LZOS version for Zenit. I thought, that the different register distance of Zorki version will cause similar behaviour, like Zenit version on extension ring, but it didn't. Zenit version on extension ring performs well, but Zorki version causes low-contrast in center - borders are better. I cannot find the cause of the problem. As I see, your version is fine.

Thanks for your comments.

Arhi-tectu1, maybe the channel weather is comparable to romanian ? Very Happy

No-X, this tube-set is exactly this one :

I tried them also with a pentacon 50mm f1.8 and it gives pretty good results.

Good series, bokeh is good on all and colours are subtle but not subdued, my favourites are with the Jupiter 9, its a great lens for flower portraits but he Pentacon is prety good too Very Happy

Mine is a black one as it is M42 mount.

Silver ones are very good looking lenses. Are they M39 ? How to use them on Canon EOS (is there an adapter ring) ? Are they better than the black ones ?

Thanks Attila.
