first pics from kiev 2a with jupiter 8

[dingadingdang]

First pics taken on a kiev 2a fitted with a Jupiter 8 in Xitang, China.
I'm very impressed with the sharpness and contrast from the lens, let me know what you think!

Hmm, images look much sharper on flickr (not had to compress them) but only uploaded the first pic to flickr so far, other pics on RFF galley:

I do like that third one in particular, with that face at the far left. But very nice output from that old camera! 🙂

Dang, I am going to have to get that Jupiter. Love the contrast on your pics.

Thanks

I like the first one for DOF & crispness. I'm a new J4a user with a J8M 53/2. Just yesterday, Ruben & I checked out one of his J8M 50/2's. Excellent sharpness & color rendition.

One other reason for me to buy a Kiev for my collection... Great shots!

Nice shots there. Makes me ever more anxious to get hold of my J8, still on its way from Uzbekistan. 😎

Thats really some good shots. I like the first one.

Nice shots, makes me think I gotta get my Kiev back together and get some shooting done. That J8 is a great lense!!!

thanks everyone, yeah, I'm really pleased with the results, here's another from the same day.

Hmm, I still don't think the images are a patch on medium format though, took some images on a TLR the same day, I'm much more pleased with them.
