amazed by this lens again and again!
It's on my CLE more than any other of my lenses... even more than my Summicron-C
(btw, CLE + Jupiter-12 weights just 520 grams, incl. film and battery)

Great pictures everyone! I hope I can soon get around to developing some rolls I used the J-12 with back in April.

Colton, we know you're cheating with digital witchcraft. The annoying pincushion distortion was present in your earlier shots. :p

I did remove the pincushion distortion on the last shot, but the ones before are as shot. The distortion is really noticeable on some frames but not noticeable on others.
Also, my Kiev mount Jupiter-12 seems to have much less distortion than my LTM copy.

Yes, it rarely matters for landscapes, but man made things with straight lines... Interesting about the Kiev version having less distortions! Too bad one needs an external VF whereas 35 mm can still be done with the Canon 7 internal VF, otherwise I'd be all over that, Kievs and Contaxes seems nice. Well except no framelines.
P.S. The colors in your pics are really nice! I haven't used mine with color except some test shots, do you feel it takes more work to get them look like this compared to other lenses? Examples on the web mostly have pretty crummy color.

Ya, the Canon 7 and Jupiter-12 make a great pair, with parallax corrected 35mm framelines, coupled vf/rf, and a very easy to use camera.
For years, I have been shooting 35mm lenses blind, with no viewfinder at all, so the Kiev with Jupiter-12 and external VF isn't a big deal to me. Actually, I had planned to just stick with my Zorki 4 and Jupiter-12 with external VF, but my Zorki has intermittent light leaks, so I decided to get the Canon 7.
