Today I stopped back at home to pick up a couple tools. The Postman was in the driveway holding a box. There was a strange lanquage coming from the box and I knew it could mean only one thing........
A RUSSIAN
INVASION! 
here they are taking a sunbath (not camera shy these four eh?)
And here they are posing for a family portrait, they should have hired a better photographer 
Anyway, Thank You Michael for sending me this lovely group. As you can see they arrived just in time for some nice weather. Hopefully this weekend I can get a chance to produce some images with these invaders from the old USSR. Once again I must say it was very generous of you to include the helios 44-2 and industar for me. A very fine gesture indeed.
Thanks again
Andy  |

That teenie Industar is a real performer - I love mine which came from Attila (Hungarian postage marks!). I have become quite enamored of the russian lenses. This group is something else.

Yes, Orio It is our view. It is lovely and does make working from home somewhat unproductive at times. And most important to any member who wants to use it. That is the view from our guest room as well. Michelle and I would be more than happy to receive guests from the MF forum. This area is a photogs heaven. Well in the right time of year (weather) anyway.

What a great set Andy! I think you're going to love the density of the colours, especially from the Mir and the Jupiter. I'm really looking forward to hearing your whoops of delight! (and seeing some shots of course!)

I hope to see some results here soon. Looking at your pictures I think they are in good hands in your area. Wonderful background!
And who knows, perhaps I will see some of the lenses again during the MFL-Meeting 2015 (when my kids are older ).

is that a MC jupiter or a single coated one?
I have a singlecoated Jupiter 9 and Mir 24 for Nikon. Mir has excellent colors and contrast and is a great lowlight lens with very decent closeup performance, but the corners at infinity are dissapointing even at f8.
