For those of you who may be curious about the Jupiter- > 8, I've posted a few images from my first two rolls with this > Russian gem. Cameras were a IIIc and an M6. All shots made on > Fuji Superia 400 from W*ll-mart and processed and scanned by Fuji > Frontier at W*llgreens. The 2 b/w images are Picasa conversions. > Very little post-processing and no USM except what might have been > applied during the scans (out of my control). > > The first b/w image shows the test for focusing accuracy using a > measuring stick at f/2 and one meter. Focus should be on the 30 > inch mark. The 2nd b/w shot is yours truly, showing the lens on > my IIIc.
