For some reason, it occurred to me this morning that the old Jupiter 8,
50/2, low serial number, made for Kiev, lens that I have had for years,
which wouldn't focus well on my Barnacks, might work just fine on the
Fuji X-E1. So I mounted it on double adapters and took it out for a
spin. The aperture setting turns freely, so I secured it with a rubber
band.
Shooting a brick wall showed proper focus, and no distortion, but I
wanted a real subject. I had seen this spot of color from a distance,
so I checked out my neighbor's cool weather blooms. To me, the Zeiss
heritage shines through.
