Great glass! Make sure you post images from the Jupiter 9 85mm f2!

. . . great set of lenses, man! And they all look to be well taken care for over the years. Are these brands easy to find in Bucuresti (understand that that's where you live)?

Looked throug your photos, - your talent seems obvious. Nice shoots, shows photo savvy, - and with great PP work. Show us more shoots.

This our 1st "Lens/Camera Image" sample topic for all lenses that have an Pentax M42 screw mount.
Great Idea Rodstar. And Voyager to suggest an Archive type Index...

Remember, the photo MUST has 2 elements:

M42 Lens
Mounted on a Pen

If you have a Panny, start a new topic. One for the "G/GH" Series, and one for the "GF".

Oh my, this thread has suddenly become alive.

Thanks for all the comments folks.

adash, I will be sure to post pics from all the attached lenses as soon as I can get some time away from work.

rogerml, my work takes me all over the world and I was lucky enough to spend time in Russia and Armenia, I picked up most of my M42 lenses at a local flea market while I was living in Armenia. I think I paid around 200USD for all the above from an old fella who was very happy with the deal

I have a few more that I will add during the week...Thanks for the kind words, I only started taking pictures more seriously last year when I bought my first DSLR and everything before that was cheap film and digital point and shoots. Thanks again

I was using all of these on my Canon T1i/500D for the past year and last week I decided to try them out on the E-PL2 I recently purchased. To my surprise, I actually prefer them on the PEN.

UPDATED!!! 7 new lenses added in first post!

Oh My, you have the 85mm f/1.5 Helios

WE must have some close portraits with THAT lens at f/1.5

You have some interesting lenses...
Check out the "Archive Index" and post some samples in the perspective thread. When you can

If there is no Sample thread started for any of your lenses, Please start one. I will add it to the Index.

Thanks for welcoming!

Never actually used it since the quality on the initial tests looked quite mediocre. But will try to get some fresh samples for this wonderful forum's collection.

Another m42 beauty - Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35/2.4 (have posed the samples in relevant thread)
