As I wanted to sell the lens (http://forum.mflenses.com/ebay-auction-jupiter-3-50-1-5-red-p-leica-m39-leica-m-t52253.html) I made few very last shots with it last week and digitalized some of them Smile
All wide open. Xtol 1+1, developed by feeling (around 15-20min, I didn't measure temperature and didn't agitate much).
Haida ND1.8x filter was used.

It a very nice lens but wide open it's only in the center more or less sharp. Contrast is low and vignetting very heavy wide open.

Sharpness can be increased by less agitations during development.

An nice lens anyway. I like the bokeh for potraits on B/W film.
Hopefully I will find a cheap ZM Sonnar 50/1.5 which offers very similar bokeh but with much more contrast, sharpness and less vignetting.
