j12 (jupiter 12) on epson R-D1

[bellyface]

Finally got around to effectively test out my j12 on my epson. I processed the images in lightroom, using an ektachrome IR preset, grass is reddish brown. Some people might not like them, but i'm ok with them. Ergonomically, the j12 won't cut it for me, but it makes up for it in quality... especially wide open. All shots were taken a F8, iso 200.

thanks for looking, friends!

I like the colors, especially on the last one. Did the RD1 burn the roof on the first picture or the preset ?
Another question, where do you find the presets for lightroom ?

Doesn't look that burnt. Details are still there if you reduce highlights.

the preset pretty much bumps contrast to hell.. there's detail in the raw's.

Hi, I am an amateur to this R-D1, do you sharing how do you get all this ektachrome IR preset on the lightroom or photoshop?

Thx

I have a dumb question: does this mean that the metering in the R-D1 is unaffected when using the Jupiter-12?

Disclaimer: the Jupiter-12 is a 35mm lens with a max aperture of f/2.8; we wouldn't want to be called an "elite club" because we forgot to add a redundancy 😉

 

[bellyface]

well, for the most part it's unaffected, but at times it tends to underexpose.

I have the preset if anyone wants it 😉 just email me...

The J12 is a great lens, but I decided not to keep it in the bag after all. The clumsy aperture ring pretty much did it for me. But I gotta say it is very sharp.

J-12 is problematic with the R-D1's lightmeter. At least some are. With the R-D1 my J-12 (made in 86/black) rear-element distracts the lightmeter by -4 stops most of the time.

Strange thing is that it is not necessarily because of the focusing. Rather due to the impact of the light sources in the frame. Not really sure though. Could
the lenght of the rear element be connected to when the lens was made?
