By chance, I found two raw images in my archive.
The seascape is the 85/1.2 nFD on LT2
The landscape is the 35/1.4 Sigma Art on Metabones. In this case, although the MB covers slightly more, it's the lens that vignettes - which is to be expected with wide angles. Nonetheless, it gives a 28/1, which is quite nice. (Both lenses wide open, without hood etc. of course, and soft vignette removed in post)
#1
#2
Pancolart, quite a few of these old russians were either made for MF initially, or cover more territory than they should (must be a russian thing...)
In the case of the Jupiter-8, I actually confirmed the data several times since I found it hard to believe as well. But though 62 mm image diameter is larger than FF, it will not cover MF - even 645 is 7o mm in diameter, 6x6 is 8o.[/img]

Thank you for clarification. 127 film camera would be perfect for Jupiter but film is too hard to obtain. Still 6x4.5 is tempting to try.

I also tried a 135mm MF lens with Lens Turbo II on Sony FF. Hm, there is a clear limitation coming from the lens booster which has a square back lens shape. The older version with round and larger shape or some other makers may give much better results, as kathala shows.

ah, true, I had seen something like that documented once. I may have been mistaken and actually own version 1 (?).
Then again, at ~1o € a piece, one might just buy another one, or try and remove that rear baffle

10 euros a piece for a speedbooster? I'll buy...
Well - I thought the Lens Turbo II had a rectangular rear element- no, it really is a baffle:

That’s pretty awful.

I've never seen rectangular rear elements except in the Zeiss R-Biotars, and certainly not in any cheap piece of gear. Sadly, one does not need a rectangular rear element for mechanical vignetting to occur.
