jupiter8_50_f2Jupiter-8 50mm f/2

Pros: if it's a good copy it's great value for money, great for portraits as it isolates the subject

Cons: focus distance of 1 m, the stop ring rotates with that of fire (in my version, there should be another antecedent where it does not happen)

Opinion: Fortunately, my copy is good; In fact, the variability between specimens of ex CCCP objectives is well known. I used it with black and white film and with yellow filter always mounted to improve the contrast. A simple objective in its scheme is a copy of the Zeiss Opton Sonnar 1:2, with the progenitor sharing, to simplify, the good yield in the center and poor in the rest of the frame. There are, of course, differences between the original and the Jupiter, but if i have a good specimen I can confirm that the Russian economic is asserting itself. Clearly it is not suitable for landscapes or architecture, unless a refined 'artistic' effect, but for portraits it is absolutely to be considered. Unfortunately the minimum focus distance at 1 meter is too long in my opinion, precisely because of its application it is a pity not to be able to get closer to the subject. Soft at full opening, better dialysed from f3 onwards. In my opinion the 'sweet sopt' is around f8. The diaphragm ring is continuous, but it's hard to turn it inadvertently. Unfortunately it rotates with the fire ring, so in some locations you can not control the stop unless you rotate the camera. Another problem is whether you use a square shovel as it would rotate this too. I have no idea about the rendering on digital, but for vintage lovers, given the expense, I would say it's worth a try.

mamiya_c220Mamiya C220

Pros: Medium format (today) economic, interchangeable lenses, possibility of very close shots, practically macro, thanks to the bellows

Cons: Difficult to correct parallax and exposure in photos with subject close

Opinion: My first medium analog format. Being a bioctic with cockpit sights the limits are obvious, however I invite everyone to take a look at at least once in life through the cockpit: the image is unique, three-dimensional and... mirrored, reversed horizontally. With a minimum of practice the framing and focus become simple. Dialing in square format is another peculiarity that may or may not please. Among the bioctices, along with the others of the mamiya c330, c3, etc. .., is one of the few if not the only interchangeable lenses. Not least, even the legendary Rolleiflex offer this opportunity. Sekor lenses have excellent quality. Thanks to the focus with bellows you get very close to the subject, however in this case you have to correct the parallax and compensate for the exposure by following not exactly intuitive indications. I don't use the flash, but having the shutter in the lens can sync at any time. Obviously for shots taken calmly, reasoned.
