Pros: All metal construction, small, elegant, sharp, great colors, smooth rings

Cons: Nothing for the price but manual focusing after years of autofocus requires some attention and adaptation.

Opinion: It cost me 65 euros including shipping from distant Russia. It arrived in a month perfectly packed. I use it on micro 4/3 with an adapter of about 10 euros bought in China that I also use for other vintage lenses. The lens I received is in perfect condition without any sign of wear, it looks new. The rings are fluid but hard enough and very convenient to use both for apertures (without shots) and for focusing. The lens is small even with the adapter and seems made especially for the micro 4/3, in my case the G80. It is very sharp, the colors are warm and the blurred very nice. It is good for portraits and flora thanks to the beautiful blurred but also for street and landscapes. Recommended without reservations.

Pros: Bokeh, sharpness, colors, construction

Cons: flares, flares, flares

Opinion: Removed the backlight flare also present with mounted lampshon, otherwise I fell in love with it, precise focus ring, nesting even at full opening to envy to newer designed, opening F 3.5 does not make it a very bright lens but, for my use it is more than fine, Bokeh amazing, I often carry it with me mounted on XT3 for my landscape outings

Pros: Sharpness, colors, 12-slat diaphragm, with continuous movement, smooth and precise focus ring.

Cons: It suffers the backlight and needs a light.

Opinion: Taken yesterday out of simple curiosity in the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The guy who sold it to me had built him a handcrafted lampshed done very well I would say, given the ease of assembly and efficiency. 12-slat diaphragm, excellent manual focus, precise and of the right fluidity. Out-of-focus light points always with perfect rims that you can't count the sides, at least up to F/8. Well, I wanted to compare it with two giants of the same focal length, zeiss apo sonnar 135 f/2 and sigma art 135 f/1.8. I would have expected, as is rightly reliable given the cost of the two giant (11 to 13 times the price of jupiter) a remarkable difference that was not in all respects. Saturated colors, high sharpness, pleasantly rounded blurry but with less detachment of planes and less open shadows. The home trials I did were a short distance away and at least in this situation the ugly duckling behaved very well, given the derisory market price I would give a nice 10 cum Laude.

Pros: Solidity, image quality

Cons: for the cost of virtually nothing.

Opinion: My first vintage lens, in the days of analogue, taken together with a Russian 2x multiplier. Excellent yield, in many cases superior to Sonnar 135/3.5. The version I had was the one with the metal lampshade. a real tank. I sold it, but regret it, I then reapply it, but in the plastic lamp version, unfortunately. Excellent lens, excellent color rendering, good sharpness and excellent construction, an armored tank. In both specimens I found lubricant among the diaphragm blades. The 11-bladed diaphragm allows a perfectly circular shape of the same, allowing a high-quality blurred one in all situations. Optical absolutely to have.

Pros: Everything, portability, handling, sharpness, robustness, price on the market

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: A dated but exceptional lens, better than the more modern f4, it is a compact and lightweight lens, although entirely made of metal (including the lampshade), the MAF is precise with long diaphragm, the diaphragms are perfect and the relative dial is optimally positioned not to may be moved unintentionally. The colors are warm and intense, the sharpness is great. Tried on Fujifilm bodies its yield was outstanding. For the price you pay, a few tens of euros (sometimes very few) do not have to miss it.
