First photos with "new" J-8

A couple of shots from my first roll with my "new" J-8 (1964 vintage) that I recently purchased from a fellow RFFer. I am very pleased with the results and wanted to share them with you all. Cheers.

Thanks xayraa33. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect it to be this good. Thanks to Scotforthlad I got a good one!

Very nice shots..

I've been impressed with the J-8 since I first used one. I've currently got 3 J-8's but plan to sell one since the extra one is no longer needed..

The below photo was taken with a J-8..

Thanks Colyn. I really like your picture too. Just out of curiousity what year(s) are your J-8s?

My first J8 test roll was a 36 exp. HS Ektachrome, and the results were surprising to me, just because I bought the Kiev only for it´s price and thought it to be just a copy of the real thing. In fact it is, but a real good one.

Cheers
