Focus may be difficult, but my Jupiter-8 still continues to take dramatic pictures. Portraits under bright sunlight, billowy clouds, nature under an overcast and even night shots of power sub-stations, seem to be its niches.
Film is bw400cn and the camera is a Bessa R.
One near the bottom, a rusty chain link fence with a dried leaf stuck on it, I think shows the lens's potential for clarity -- if focused correctly. I have been pacing off meters; my stride is a few inches over a yard, close to a meter. (I have a few rangefinders for shoe mounts, but they all measure in feet, so I will be looking for one that measures in meters.)

Hi John,
I have just looked at your photos, the Jupiter 8 is great lens, but like all lenses you must have someone with an eye for a great photograph to go with it.
You have got that eye. well done.

thank you so much, I wish it were as easy to lend an eye as a handcameramanic said:

The camera's "eye" has only to capture what the photographer's eye sees. Converting metres to feet is not so difficult. I do it constantly when using FSU lenses with an accessory V/F marked in feet.
