After playing with an Industar 26M, I now tried my old Jupiter 8 on my E-PL2:

All shots are taken wide open:

Works very well. It's nice to be able to use this lens again on digital.

Here it is on its original camera:






And here's a shot I took with the Zorki a couple of years ago - with regular Fuji film:

interesting pictures - the 2 last one - before the cam shots - show that "rectangular" bokeh can be good looking background

Thank you! The sad look is due to some kind of oxidation that happened during the long period of not being in use. At least, the camera body and the optics of the lens itself were not affected.

Here are a couple of stopped down shots from today - f/4. As expected, the lens becomes quite sharp when stopped down (although it may not be very clear from these samples):

#6 bokeh is so dreamy. Very nice.
