Here again with a pic:

This is not an innovative pic, but pleasing, imho:

Very nice. I wish I had some scenery like this around where I live! Is that a little bit of flare up there in the top right corner? Were you using a lens hood?

Hi!
Yes, there's a little flare.
unfortunately I have no lens hood for this lens, but it seems that the Jup12 doesn't need a hood due to his structure; the front lens is at the bottom of a kind of "natural" hood.
Isn't it?

PS:
the scenery was a little road I was passing through to go for an inspection for my job. At the end of it there's a solitary church (built in 1720) that is going to be restored.

Beautiful! What country is this in?

If you are getting flare then it means you might actually need to use a hood even though the front element of the lens is recessed as you describe...

I have just bought a Jupiter-11 and it will be here in a week or two. Looking forward very much to using it! :)

I'm in the Noth-West of Italy.

Lucky you! I am from England originally and I miss home quite a lot... :(

Your lens looks like it's a good one, I enjoy 35mm a lot, I only got my first 35mm last year (a Voigtlander) and I love it!

Hope to see more of your pics! :)

Maybe pics of that old church at the end of the road.
