Fantastic deep dof at f11 using hyperfocal distance.

Thank you for visiting!

Great colours by the Fuji
The Jupiter-12 seems to do brilliant. Would like to see more architecture.
I have a film roll in the Kiev-4 which is half-way from being finished, shot with the Jupiter-12 only (Kiev version of course): I never seem to find the time to complete it, grr.

Great captures with a lovely camera. I suggest to use slide instead of film to get better result, Sensia 100, Provia 100 etc. If you need help about slides let me know.

There are some NICE images here! Beautiful job, and the scanner is doing quite well on the color negatives. I agree with Attila, slides will really pop!

I heard, that J-12 is better 35mm lens, than majority of the 35mm retrofocal lenses for SLR cameras. It's probably hard to confirm that, but your shots look really promising Wink

I think this is true. A good RF lens + camera blame all SLR.

if the Jupiter-12 is a good copy of the Biogon 35 like the Jupiter-9 is of the Sonnar 85, that is sure.

I had the same positive experience with Jupiter 12. Great lens!

I have it on both m39 and contax mounts.
