@ JeffoJeffo - beautiful shots with that 150mm ! I really like the first of the two - great expression from your model!

 

How is focussing those lenses on the S2 - I never get used to manually focussing lenses on a ground glass, as with a Leica M (RF is just so easy by comparison).

 

 

All the lenses that I modified to fit S2 body are quite easy with MF. In fact, I find it more practical than the original S-lenses. S-lenses response quite slow (compare to other system). Perhaps I got used to MF and don't find Auto-focus that handy. Its just like using the another Leica-M system.

Jean-Marc, you have got yourself there a beautiful collection of the finest Canon RF lenses around ;-)

 

That last photo is beautiful - nice light and pose!

 

Thanks and credit to you Dirk and all the other members sharing their valuable experience here on L Camera Forum and on RFF !

It took some time fiddling with shims and I've learnt a lot in the process.

 

Cheers,

Jean-Marc.

The serial number stamped into the optical fixture of this 1950 Jupiter-3 shows it was completed in April 1945. converted to Leica mount from Contax mount, focal length increased, optimized for F1.5 across the entire focus range, and in a focus mount modified to focus to 0.75m.

 

Wide-open on the M9:

M9-P with Carl Zeiss Jena 85/2 Sonnar in LTM at f/2.8.

 

I've just received this lens and I had to take real care to make sure that it's not a 'Russian' conversion to LTM and I'm satisfied that it's not. Bona fide CZJ Sonnars in LTM are few but Russian copies are plentiful.

 

I particularly like the gentle and gradual out of focus rendering of this lens, which is a Sonnar signature, in front and behind the lady with the marvellous smile.

 

Pete.

Watson London 3" f1.9 + S2

 

I really like the painting-like first shot with the Watson!

 

Here are two taken with my Leica II and the Summitar (1950), the latter shot being of my hair dresser :)
