R3A + J3 in Paris

[Matus]

Hello,

I have the R3A and the Jupiter 3 50/1.5 for some time already (still my only lens for the R3A), but only once it returned from Brian (thanks a lot !!) and got proper ltm-to-M adapter I started to trust it.

Anyhow - I had a business trip to Paris and was to meet my old friend. He asked me to make him some portraits, so I decided to take the R3A + J3 for this task (instead of Rolleiflex T)

We had a lot of fun shooting these as he wanted some, say, unusual shots. So here are some of them:

[ I did also some more "tourist shooting" but first have to get the film from the lab as it was color - to be posted soon]

Side note:
- I was/am considering to swap the R3A for Contax G2 (for different reasons), but should I do so I will really miss the Jupiter ...

Side note II:
- is there any lens/camera in MF that would bring similar character to photos like the J3?

Great shots Matus!

I just came back from Paris. This tourist had a R4M & CV25/4 uncoupled & it was a fabulous combo.

I've got a Contax G1 (35/90), great camera but battery expense/consumption irks me, compared to something like the R4.

Nice shots, thanks for sharing.

Your friend reminds me a bit of Brüno, esp in the 3rd pic (meant as a complement)

Those are some interesting portraits!

My M8 is a great tool for shimming J-3's.
