Ernst Leitz GmbH Wetzlar Summicron 5cm/2 ltm

This lens has beautiful silver finish, quiet heavy for the size of RF lens. Too bad it has haze which affect to IQ (lack of contrast and ghosting/softness in some case)
MFD is 1 meter like common RF lens, so I put it in helicoid adapter for closer focus.

Industar 61 L or Индустар 61 л, 55/2,8

I got a chance to tested Индустар 61 л, this lens has LTM/L39 mount. SLR version of Industar 55/2,8 has LZ at it which has macro capability.
LTM version has 1 meter minimal focus distance, no way to shot macro except using extension tube.

wideopen, cropped, closest focus

It flare against strong light, I used my hand as hood in this picture, there's leak light on left.

f5,6 Quiet good at infinity

Voigtlander Heliar 15/4,5 Aspherical superwide, LTM

I heard only good things about this lens. Small, sharp...even you can use it wide open at infinity, and sharp still
Something that leave Leica behind in wide angle class. and that's just right.
Architecture, landscape? let this tiny lens help you. you won't be dissapointed.
Dont expect nice bokeh

Jupiter 3 50/1,5 L39

This lens has good reputation as a Sonnar copy.
Little bigger than its brother Jupiter 8 50/2

Jupiter 8 50/2 L39

Jupiter 8 in Leica screw mount has small body which is perfect to be attached in my Sony NEX
As you can see on left, If We don't see front lens it looks like Leica :D
In fact this lens is copy of Carl Zeiss Sonnar 50/2 for Contax rangefinder.
Many people say about Russian copy of Zeiss, almost same with the one being copied. This conclusion, I believe is true including Jupiter 8.
There are some Jupiter 8 variants according to Sovietcam, this lens code name is PT3030. Seems to be an earliest version of the regular Jupiter-8 lens. Released by KMZ in 1951-1960


This lens isn't razor sharp wide open, I'd choose my yashica ML 50/2 for that purpose, somehow I like its character

Someone on photo.net (2002) even said that this lens is Lens Bargain of the Century

stepped down

Voigtlander APO LANTHAR 90mm f/3.5 MC LTM silver

APO refers to a type of lens construction that reduces color fringing, generally APO lenses are more expensie than other lenses in same type. Lanthar as far as I know refers to Lanthanum material which being used to build this lens.

I'm impressed by it capability to control contrast between bright sun area and shadow area in this picture

back light? No problem :D

now let's see how it detail for portrait
