Very nice work. Out of curiosity, what year is your J3? Or rather what are the first 2 numbers of the serial number on the front of the lens?

However, it was rebuilt by Brian Sweeney to focus close (.7m) and probably overall tweaked elsewhere.

It is very sharp on digital, with only a slight loss of contrast wide open vs stopped down, but there is visible distortion compared to say an expensive Leica or Zeiss piece, still I somehow can't help from shooting architecture with this lens!!

We rarely get out that way, more likely south to tri-cities, or north to chelan or wenatchee.
