Hi All,
Happy camper here...

A Jupiter 8, 50/2 modified [collimated] by Brian Sweeney for my Bessa R,
arrived this week. The price for the lens was reasonable, but the PO here
took a fortune for a moderate foreign currency exchange and wire transfer.
No matter. THIS J8 is worth it!

Here's the link to a favorite shot on HP5+HC110.

Comments welcome.
Ciao, mike
 
I like that photo a lot Mike ... great tones and out of focus area. Nice lens mate!

Cheers ... Keith 🙂
 
Thanks Keith,
When I had Ruben's recently arrived Fed-2 in my hands a couple of
weekends ago, I could not get the feel of it out of me all weekend.
So, I've ordered one from Fedka.
This is the Fed model with the looong RF base.
Cheers, mike
 
There's something about the Fed 2 that feels so right. I haven't put a film through mine for a while but it gets fondled constantly! 😀

That's me too. 🙂 I've actually gotten into the habit of carrying it around with the I-50 collapsible, even though I havn't pressed the shutter on it for a week.
