2nd Roll through my new R2A + Jupiter-3 50mm f/1.5

I think the dark corner(s) is from the hood on the lens. First roll was sent away for developing, this is Kodak C41 B&W

Really nice. Congrats!

Good sharpness and contrast, but the lens is vignetting particularly on the upper left corner.

Yuh think? 😀

I confirmed from the lens owner that it's the hood/filter combo. The lens doesn't belong to me so I'll keep the filter on and live with it. Easy enough to fix anyway if I took the time.

Thanks for the comments.

Just one more from that roll

Nice photos. I would shoot a few frames with the hood off the lens just to be sure, but I suspect you are correct. that it is the lens hood. Enjoy it.

Regardless the gear talk, those photos are really quite good. That part of city/town is very interesting. 🙂

 

[capitalK]

Thanks. I just wish I didn't live in such a small town and had some more people to shoot on the streets. Going to have to try harder next time to get closer.

Two more from the same roll. Sent a bunch of PANF 50 off to Toronto for developing. Need to start doing it myself so I don't have the 1-week turn-around.

Wow!!! Wonderful lens!! (and some very good shots).
You must be very happy about your new "toy"... ;-)
Do you have any photos taken at full aperture?

 

[capitalK]

I'm still waiting for my PANF 50 shots to come back from the lab. These ones were shot on the sunniest of days with 400 speed film. Thanks for your comments.

 

[Prosaic]

Nice work!

 

[P. Lynn Miller]

I agree, very nice performing lens. Is it LTM or M-mount? And you have put the lens to good use as well.

 

[capitalK]

LTM > M adapter.

It belongs to another RFF member who has offered it to me on short-term loan. This is the only roll I have seen so far, the rest are sent out of town to go to the lab. I should develop my own but it's hard in a small house with a young child.

Thanks for the comments.

That's a really nice roll of pictures there.

just ask people, most of them agreee and it's quite interesting 🙂

 

[capitalK]

Well thanks for resurrecting this thread. Here's some more from the same roll. I should go out and take test shots more often with no real purpose other than to test gear 😀

It appears to be at least as sharp as the J-8 lens, at least at the apertures you're shooting at. These Jupiters are impressive glass for the money. I prefer the Industar 50 3.5 and LD 61's, but that's just a personal thing. The Jupiters also have pleasant bokeh wide open. Nice, contrasty shots for C-41 too.

 

[capitalK]

Thanks. I am expecting the first of the PANF 50 shots back tomorrow which should show off the lens wide-open.

Great shots.I like the rural feel.Just shows you do not need expensive leica lens to get great images.
