It rained last night, took a walk with the M8 and J-3 this morning.

Wide-open at F1.5:


And at F4:

The two images look great.

Do some J3s have harsher edges to the bokeh than others? Some seem like they have very sharp edges while others look less defined. Brians shots in #11 and #12 seem quite different from #25.

Granted, without knowing the shooting conditions, etc it could all just be situational. I guess I'm anxious as I have a 1962 J3 on the way 🙂 :

Sellers shot of it:

That's the thing with a Jupiter-3.... No two are quite the same.

The 1967 J-3 that is used in #11 and 1956 KMZ in #12 are both softer, and have less harsh Bokeh.

The 1955 Black KMZ used here is the sharpest that I've seen. It is made from a 1955 KMZ with a 1980s front element, and set in a Black focus mount. I just picked up a Sonnar-C 50/1.5, and the focus is in exact agreement with this lens on the M8. I think that will be a good test.
