Star to Jupiter


 I wrote about the 'pancake' lens Industar 69 in the last post. I've been using it a lot on my Fujifilm X-Pro1 in the last week, and I am very pleased.



 
Above and below you can see the light distortion in the corners. I like that effect - it gives the pictures a retro look.



The other day I received something in the mail...


It was a long expected Canon P rangefinder shipped from the Netherlands. It sported a 50 mm lens which I'd not given much thought since the P is what I coveted.


Anway, since the P immediately had to be shipped to be repaired (since the rewinding release got stuck, thanks a bunch), the Jupiter 8 lens was to be excercised instead. I stuck it to the X-Pro and went out.


And it performed really well - didn't it?







Can't wait to get the P back, though.

Great Grey

Till vänster är min flitigt använda Olympus XA - en kompakt kamera med slutarautomatik men med manuell bländare och skärpeinställning. Till höger är en raritet - en XA2 i begränsad upplaga från mitten av 80-talet. / The XA2 on the right is a collector's dream. It's a limited edition auto-exposure camera with great lens and exposure.
