I found this lens in one of the camera shop left in the cold in one corner. When I says I wanted to buy it, the shop owner is so delighted and sold it to me dirt cheap. This lens is Automat Jupiter-11 135mm f4. I think because of the rarity of the camera body here or lack of knowledge of such lens. This lens is shocking sharp with good colours and details. I use electrical pvc tape to secure it on my Olympus extension tubes and it works though unable to achieve infinity because of the longer flange distance.

Here are some shots taken at Singapore Botanical Garden. 3 shots of swan feathers floating in the lake with 100% crop to show this lens prowness ! Laughing

Feather 1



100%



Feather 2

Feather 3

Forgot to mention, all taken wide open, because there is no aperture ring you had to dismount the lens and operate it manually using finger. Just say I am lazy Laughing

Here are the rest of the photos

I was surprised that you announced a Jupiter-11 with ƒ 2.8 aperture. But I see on the pictures that it is a ƒ 4.0. Is it a newer version of the alu sonnarlike preset lens?
