Critique Welcomed Parrot

[Aldous Lau]

Got a Jupiter 8 today and here's a test shot on M9P

 

[John Holland]

I guess it is very easy to set the white point on this image with the bird providing the 18% grey point

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Well, it works. Very clear shot.

 

[Rense Haveman]

One of my favorite lenses! It is amazing, as you can see in this shot too! The bokeh can be amazing silky!

Thanks Rob

I am with you Rense, just love the bokeh from the len

I'd have one of these lenses if I had a camera that it would fit. Guess I'll have to be satisfied with seeing what you can do with it. Looks great, if this shot is any indicator.

I like the image Aldous, but I do not have a clue of what the lens is like. Albeit a very fine example here though. So what make is the lens and so on?

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Gorgeous lens Aldous and the one I have fits and looks sweet on the OM-D camera. I never use it as much as I aught and best suited for the rangefinder for which I guess it was built for.
Handsome parrot yet I do find such beautiful birds as pets difficult to view, very much a cultural difference maybe.

Thanks Julian. I think the Jupiter is best fit with for Leica M since many people are using this len on their Leica M

Ivar, the reason I bought this len because many people using this old len with their Leica M on the webs and the price is really attractive. I bought it from a local shop over here for less than usd 90

Yes and I got it of a Fed 4 which was a kind of Leica compy-ish camera. A sweet lens though.

There is a new len released for a very short period called Jupiter +3, it's also a 50mm len but comes with F1.5. I believe the F1.5 should be a great len too, however the shop over all is selling way over price I think, so I just simply got the F2 version instead just for fun. I am going to test my Jupiter len for shooting film, I guess it won't let me down

 

[Aaron J. Heiner]

I love the Jupiter-8, but quite a few of the other Jupiter lenses, or at least every other model I have ever owned weren't so great. I know they are crap shoot with quality, but it seems that the longer the lens the worse they seemed to do. I keep the Jupiter-8 on my Bessa R,with some Neopan.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Well thank you all for answers and thank you Aldous. It made me a bit wiser

 

[Pete Askew]

Well, if no one else is going to say it, beautiful plumage!

And a fine shot, nicely rendered.
