The Geranium bud is nice! Had to google to find out what a Jupiter-8 was.

nice one Ron!

I'm looking at grabbing a Jupiter-11a to add to my slowly growing MF line-up.

Ditto.

I'll third that motion

 

[Ron Evers]

Yes, a M39 mount. I only have 5, 50s but 9, 50 somethings & another coming in the mail.

Jupiter-11a = 135mm - I have two 135s now, so it may not be in the cards for me.

This lens looks really cool on the GF1.

It's not retro Derrel, it's old, maybe even older than you.

Actually it was made in 1963. I love working with old glass, thus me buying so many vintage lenses. When I purchased my G1 it came with a native 14-45 & I also bought the 45-200 @ the same time. Almost never use them. So when my wife's Canon starting acting up I bought her a GF1 body so she could use the lenses in full auto & I could also use it with the classic glass as well.

Long live manual focus.

Does it have the thumb-catch on the bottom to turn the focusing wheel like the Leica lenses have?

No, but earlier versions did. Later versions were black.
