Jupiter-3 50/1.5
Jupiter-9 85/1.5
Kodak Meniscus (sometimes stopped down a bit Smile )

Weather is still quite dull, I was outside for 2 hours and I counted shower for 3-times and hail-stones twice. But I returned home with a few shots...

Meniscus pictures are always very interesting. The first image seems to come from a 19th century pictorialist album. The kind of Steichen, to give a name.

Agree, very interesting shots, really like the last three with the J-9.

Great stuff. I just love that meniscus lens (have a handful of them myself, most still attached to cameras).

Orio, Katastrofo and walter23 - thank you!

I was surprised esp. with the 3rd picture and its water surface. How precisely the meniscus drawed all reflections and riples, how detailed the water surface is, while the light and reed are so soft.

Very nice all. I prefer 1 and 8

Thanks. Rino.

Great work Jiri, like them! The Menikus lenses have something special (painting like?) about them which I especially like.
