Shot with the Jupiter 12 lens in paris on Fuji Pro 400 this is a drug store scan so 4 bit only. From the looks of what i've seen i have some pinholes in the shutter.
this is ok though by the Stravinsky Fountain at the Pompidou Center my favourite spot in paris full of life

Shine a torch through and look from the other side to see if you really have pinholes.

Nice moment there, with the couple in the background.

Really nice action filled shot.

If you can get the shutter sorted out post some more shots! I finally quit using the Feds (all of them) because as much as I liked the lenses, the shutters were always a problem in every camera I owned.

I have a number of b/w films to get to processing and a couple more shots from colour i liked, need to find my 35mm scanner insert for my scanner (i've not used it in a long while and not sure where its hiding)
I have a roll in the camera now so as soon as i finish it i'll do the torch test
then i may be fiddling around trying to fix it myself since apparently the FSU guru in NYC looks like he's dropped of the face of the earth for now (to bad, it's sad to lose experts with no replacements trained by them) and Toronto doesn't have an expert that is affordable (we do have some great leica service but I am a long way from buying leica's at the moment)

And if you are in paris Paul this is the best spot in the city for action filled street shots, and just a great place to relax. If I'm only passing through for a day this is where i head and people watch, have a meal....
