A soviet era Jupiter 135mm f4 mounted to a spotmatic. various shots, portraits of my family, candid street snaps, soft focus flowers and guls! I love how characterful this lens is, quite soft and low contrast with beautiful bokeh if thats your thing lol!

    Great album and a great lens indeed - I also use it on my Olympus Pen - it converts 1:2 and extends to 270mm .

    @charliedontsurf I use it (and all Jupiter lenses) on the digital Pen occasionally but mainly on my Zorki and Fed - but when using on the digital the Jupiter develops to a real Tele of approx. 280mm - I uploaded some of the shots here...but also on Flickr...here also testing the Leitz Summaron 35mm.

    @rolfmg I've tried it on my Sony digital but to be honest I lose interest very quickly with a digital camera in my hands, I just feel like I'm cheating!

    @charliedontsurf Yes - I have a similar feeling - on the other hand it is mixing two worlds so to say. All settings are manual, no automatic - only the emulsion is digital....so I hope the "purists" will forgive. For me it is just playing...
