Does anyone have any tips for shooting with the FSU cameras and focal lengths other than 50mm? I'm trying to get used to having to use a turret finder for all my other lenses. I feel that it's absolutely worth it, I'm just having a hard time making it feel "right," plus I'm constantly touching the aperture ring a little on my FSU lenses and moving them away from the desired aperture, which bothers me. I'm open to suggestion, the fight with myself is half the fun.
 
Can you explain why/how you're always touching the aperture ring when you're using a turret finder? I don't have that problem. Getting it to feel right just comes with experience.
 
It's because the Jupiters don't have click stops, I suppose. I think maybe I'm brushing against the aperture ring as I'm focusing. Although, I've managed to to do it on my click-stop-having Canon lenses (especially the short 28mm), so that's the problem. And the thing with the finder is mostly how to incorporate it into my shooting routine.
