Quite sharp lens, more than I expected (compared to other Jupiter-11 on SLRs).

The lens on the NEX:







The adapter:



Some quick shots @ f4:























I cannot avoid to put a 100% crop of picture #3 to show the sharpness:


Regards,

Looks good. How do you find the contrast?
I have one in m39 but seems it's not very contrasty.. or maybe there is a lot of flare.

Not bad, I didn't push up intentionally the contrast, just applied "auto tone" in LR3 which did a little bump.
Much better than expected.

Regarding flare, I didn't try any backligth shot yet, but as you said, probably there will be some flare due to the coating. But I have to do more tests yet.

The NEX seems to match very well with the old optics...
Regards.
