Jupiter-8 with 18 aperture blades!

I have an Industar-61 with 10 blades AND click stop. Maybe not too uncommon, but given the large numbers of other Industar-61s and careless sale descriptions, I felt lucky to find one.

I have the same one. It came with FED-3. Sharp on film and OK on digital M without shimming.

Why is your lens sharper on film?

It is always sharper on film because I can't enlarge it to 1:1 as good as with digital. 🙂

I checked one more time. It is sharp on digital, but colors are less saturated and contrast is lower.

Thanks; good luck with the shimming.

Brian kindly reshimmed the lens! Now I can use it with my M cameras without using Live View.
