Kiev 4 with Jupiter 8M pics - WOW!

[alexM]

Developed first pictures. They blew me away. Great color. These 50 years old Kontaxes / Jupiters are something else! :angel: :angel: :angel:

If I can figure out where & how to post a couple, would be happy to share.


Thanks everyone for help and encouragement.

Ponds and ducks look alike to me. I'm in No. Dallas (Richardson). Where were you shooting?

[alexM]

This was between Alpha and LBJ, west of Midway.
I am in Plano. am15us@yahoo.com

alex, buy and try a Helios 103; that's an amazing lens (if price should represent the photography value of the lens, it would go for $300 or $400).

Here's a picture (Kiev II/Helios 103)

Your shots are a tad soft, the J8 is not super sharp, but it's plenty sharp in the center even wide open. This is an example of what I mean:

I suspect the shots are soft mainly because of me than J8. Will find out more this weekend.
