Hello forum members,
I just want to show you some of my first results using my recently bought Jupiter-12 (a black one with 79xxxx serial-no).
Photos shot on Tri-X at 400.
Feel free to give comments. All copyright by me.

The last picture -- which must have been taken in haste -- appeals to me the most. I too am the happy owner of a J-12, I might add.

No doubt the Jupiter are outstanding value for money. Only problem is the protruding back.
The J-12 is pretty good, I think. Florian, it looks like your photos are from a historical-oriented guided tour... Recently I was on such a tour myself so the situation is familiar. I particularly like your 3rd and 4th above.

Film is the other way
the J-12 has a long standing 'admiration society' here at RFF, myself included.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
Yes, Doug, you are right. Friday two weeks ago I was on that tour with a friend - walking around Bremen, Germany, and getting historical information by the friendly night-watcher you can see in the 3rd and 4th pic.
The other two shots were taken on the same occassion, but were more side views on that night.

You got those with 400 ASA? Incredible, I'd thought it's 800 or faster.
Nice shots, I like the second to the last.

Yes, that's shot on 400. The 1st and 3rd shot were made with 1/15 and 2.8 if I'm not wrong.
But on the other hand you get more grain somehow at lower light. Or is it the developer?

Florian, I´m a big J-12 fan too. Your second one is a great picture. I scanned a Fomapan 400 with J-12 pictures this evening and maybe I have something to add too.

petronius, thanks for the kind words. Curious what you could add.
Actually this turns out to be a collection of various J-12 shots from people who like their results. Wasn't intended by me, but hey - why not.

I know the J12 has some problem on the Bessas. Does anyone have any info about them on the Zeiss Ikon. Same question about the collapsible Elmar and Industar-22 on the Ikon.

ever since they came, my Kiev 4am/ Jupiter 12 combo has been my favorite. i've left them mated since the first roll i shot with them. what's awesome is that the later kiev everready cases (the black ones that came with the 4am) have a big enough lens pouch to take the j12. it doesn't fit into the everready case for my 1978 Kiev 4.
being able to leave them permanently mated means that i don't have to worry about scratching that rear element.... i'm too klutzy to trust myself with that!
the lens is also fairly fast and you can play with depth of field pretty well on it.

I have a pre-war Zeiss Biogon on the way and plan to test it against my J-12. The J-12 is the Russian version of the Biogon..

that will be very interesting, please post the photos!
i have a feeling that you'll be the proud owner of two great 35mm lenses

Petronius, thanks for posting those pics. I like the second the most out of those three.
I'm still wondering how to achieve all black "shadowed" silhouettes like in your second pic.
Btw, my pics above were scanned from negatives on an Epson V500.
Btw, do you use a hood with the J-12 or not?

Thank you for your kind words, Florian. The all black shadows are result of exposing the negative on the lights and some PS. I did use a hood, but found it annoying. Whenever I focused the J-12 I accidently changed the aperture. So - no filter, no hood.
