That is actually one of my favorite lenses for B&W... Great value.
It's pretty magical in B&W, IMHO. I got an especially great deal on mine from someone on the B&S forum - my first LTM lens. It can work really well in color, other times it just looks a bit off in color.

Sebboh, love the shot of the "growling tiger" in your set. Jupiter-3 looks good. I picked up a Jupiter-8 recently and really like its performance too. Smallest/lightest lens I have owned, yet nice results.
Jim
thanks! the jupiter-3 is a fantastic portrait lens in the f/2-5.6 range. i've always been tempted by the jupiter-8, but figured the j-3 is already small enough and i suspect i'd like the j-3 better than the j-8 at f/2. how is the j-8 for landscape (the j-3 is never really that good towards the edges)?
One of the reasons I switched to the Sony A7RII body is how readily it allows me to adapt non-Sony glass. I'm especially fond of older manual focus lenses. Here is a recent acquisition; a Nikon Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 Ai-S. I call it "The Beast" and the second image shows why. It is sitting next to a Pentax Takumar S-M-C 50mm f/1.4 lens. The adapter is coming tomorrow and I hopefully will be seeing some nice imagery from this combination soon. BTW, these two images were taken with my Loxia 2/50
Fred, love those Grand Canyon shots! One question, I thought I read in another thread started by you where you said you did the ETTR thing by increasing the exposure by 2, after the zebra was no longer present, why does the EXIF data of your pictures here all say it's -2 EV instead of + 2 EV? Am I missing something? Thanks,
Nice Bob. Wife and kids will be there on Wednesday through Sunday - they have tickets to the Seahawks game. I get to stay home and watch it on TV w/o having to sit out in the cold!
A few more from yesterday with the A7RII and 135/3.4 APO Telyt Leica
