M4-P and Jupiter-8 go to the Farmers' Market

From the M4-P with the 50/2 Jupiter-8 lens and Kodak BW400CN film, scans again by Walgreens, touched up in Lightzone:

VERY nice images! That lens is serving you well! I'm going to get mine back out and give it another try. Thanks for posting these.

Thanks, Jamie!!! I am so thrilled with my Jupiter-8; it's right up there with my Summaron 35/3.5 as a favorite.

Maybe too much USM for my liking in post processing but photos are great.

Nice shots indeed, but too much sharpening. I agree with Mablo.

 

[maggieo]

Blame Walgreens. They sharpen the hell out of everything.

Excellent photos Maggie. I really like them. They do appear to have too much pp sharpening applied (viewed on 2 different monitor setups) - I'd take your negatives and have them scanned at a Costco, seriously!

I'm getting a film scanner of my own, since there is no Costco in town and the local photo shop is staffed by idiots who can't even run a minilab to save their life.

So, I did my own scan of some of the farmer's market pix with a friend's Nikon Coolscan V ED and here they are:

Wow, Maggie, much much better. The skin tones, hair detail, and the overall images are just great. And, they are still super sharp. You have a great setup, and are focusing perfect, much better than I usually do.
