Great shot! Love the tones, sharpness and framing...

Jupiter 12 on a Nikon SP. Arista Premium 400 in Td 201 (A3 min - B 3 min). A bit flatter contrast than a Nikkor 35f2.5 - but plenty sharp. This was at 5.6.

At the Oven's Mouth Preserve in Boothbay, Maine:

Kiev 4, Delta 100, Rodinal 1:50. This was a new film/dev. combo for me, and I think I really like it.

Be VERY CAREFUL when screwing a chinese 40.5 hood on your LTM jupiter 12 ! don't screw it right down to the bottom : on my lens, the rugged surface of the hood's thread made impossible to unscrew the hood ! when finally forcing the hood to unscrew, the whole aperture ring get off the lens. You then need to visit Kiev Survival Site to understand how to fix it. in my experience, the jupiter 12 doesn't need any hood, especially the coated issue.

A 1957 KMZ J12 on a Leica M8:

mesmerizing.
on a m8, that's the field of view of 50mm equivalent, isn't it?

 

[S.H.]

Yes, slightly wider. The M8 has a 1.33 factor.

I'm extremely impressed with the contrast shown in many if these shots. My 1970s black J-12 is quite low contrast.

Do people find they have to increase contrast in post-processing or is my low contrast due to manufacturing period or just my particular lens?

 

[S.H.]

I would say it is the post processing, or the type of film used. Here is what my original file look like :



The Biogon is a old Zeiss formula; I have other lenses like this one, they are sharp but low contrast compared to modern Japanese lenses for example (some favor contrast over definition). I prefer them that way : it is easy to increase contrast to just what you want, and you have fine details.

It also depends if you overexpose or not.

A quite old image by now and due for a rescan. And it's time to take the camera(s) out of the drawer too... 🙂
