I really like these, shows what the Jupiter is good at, but then again I'm slightly biased as it's one of my favourites lenses.

+1 for #5 and #6
You should try a film-like B/W conversion (with Silver Efex etc.) with them

Thx for the comments guys Indeed J-9 is a great lens, actually I got 2 of them. Sadly I can't shoot with a better one - M39 '55 Silver, as I need a mirrorless cam , though this m42 isn't bad either...

Nice set and good looking model, my favourite would have been easily #6 but you should have either included the mouth,
or cut out the nose, too, and leave only the eyes in the frame (probably the latter the better solution).
I think the J9 works better stopped down when you have busy background, because OOF highlights really get in the way
I think J9 can be used wide open too, but you should have clean, open background (such as sky, a wall, or a studio cloth).

Thank you . It's easy to focus on a camera with life-view such as A-55 (using the magnifier). I've noticed you have the a-700, it was a pain... esp wide-open, even with focus confirmation I found most of the pictures out of focus.

Thanks Orio, yes I though about cropping #6, but then if I do it I can't preserve the aspect ratio.
I tend to agree regarding stopping down J-9.
