My Jupiter 8 hasnt arrived and so I bought today a cheap (20 Euros) like new Industar 61 52mm f2.8 lens with serial number #091788. (anyone nows how old that lens may be???)
I was very busy on a business trip (850km) and so I only find time to do a few shots on a parking place.
Both pics with f2.8.
The Industar-61 L/D is a Zeiss Tessar clone with special lanthanium glass elements, pre WWII. So the math of the lens is around 80 years old!
Tomorrow I visit a good customer in Nuremberg and then we will se how well the little Russian cheapy will do as a portrait lens.

Sweet ride! This looks very Contrasty and sharp with great detail. At least at this small image size. Have you printed anything yet?

Out of laziness I will ask this question here rather than go search the inter web.
If Someone was to buy the:
GXR
M-module
EVF
as a sort of kit (or maybe they sell a kit).
What would a person spend? (US Market).

About $1100-$1200 I think?
I haven't printed anything yet. I rarely print.
The ride is pretty sweet. He built it from a frame that was donated to the college biking program. Even sweeter!

Here's one from this afternoon -- I haven't dialed in the 'corner settings' or whatever they call the corner fix.

The in-camera fixes do apply to raw settings, at least from my testing. The photo you quoted had no fixes applied.
I need to find a good white wall where I can figure out the fixes for this particular lens, but it looks like it's +4 red and -4 blue for each corner...
Should we start a list of compatible lenses and color shift codes?

That is good news. There were a couple of posts from people with the A12-M on another forum that suggested that this correction only applied to jpegs. A list of corrections sounds like a great idea. Now I just need B&H to send me the A12-M.

That would be great, though probably in a separate thread.

Actually now that I'm looking at both files side by side, the corrections are only applied to the .JPG. Ah well. |

Focussing with the GXR-M is very easy. I have no big experience with that manual thing, but the little helper work quick and good.
My Indu f2.8
OK, I am so good, I can easily hit the wrong spot... 
With f8 the job is more easy
100% Crop
What do you thing about the bokeh of this cheap lens??
The colours are very strong and deap. I wonder if thats got to do with the m-modul or with the lens?

My Jupiter 8 just arrived
Dead brilliant!
Built like a tank with very smooth working!
At f2 its a little soft, like all Zeiss sonnars:
100% Crop:
f2.8 and f4 very sharp:
100% Crop f4:
Very nice bokeh, too.
All that for $75 from eBay!!

Shooting with my Jupiter/Zeiss I see that the colour rendition and the 3D look of the Sonnar is much better than the very good A12 50mm Ricoh:
both lenses with f4:
Also f2 is a real pleasure with the Sonnar:

I just received my A12-M for the GXR, and of course it was raining on and off all day. I took a few handheld shots in raw mode, in between showers, using the CV 40mm Nokton and CV 25mm f/4p Skopar. All were shot at f/5.6 using auto-ISO. Here are full size jpegs (100% from the raws processed the same in LR 3.5) for pixel peeping.
40mm Nokton
25mm Skopar
I'm impressed by the fine detail resolution with the A12-M sensor, sans AA filter. You may be able to see this by comparing with this shot using the same 40mm Nokton on the NEX-5N, which although it has higher sensor resolution (16 mp) does not seem to resolve as much pixel level detail as the Ricoh.
5N 40mm Nokton

A few from the run-through of my theater's new play, Copenhagen b Michael Frayn. Shot with the GXR, often at 3200, and mostly with the 35/1.2. JPEG.

...looks like Dr. Bohr is quite agitated. Nice shots (and a great play).
Nice images all-around; I'm dangerously interested in this kit. Thanks to all for posting!

I should do a thread where I compare the images I took with the GXR with those I took with the R-D1. I haven't been able to bring myself to sell the R-D1...

Raw with default settings in Lightroom, crop added. The camera does a pretty good job with the variety of light that is being thrown at it, and the CV40/1.4 SC wide open gives the pastel effect.
Cheers,
