Yes Michiel, the Jupiter fits and takes sharp images. The Perar is also good with very nice color.

Here is another from today that maybe should have been placed in the Bokeh thread. Again with the Minolta zoom

Just found a picture of the combo in your Getdpi Gallery.
Beautiful gallery, my compliments. The woman under the parasol watching that industrial ship! Amazing!

@Keith :: Very nice! Some of those older Minolta lenses were really quite good.

BTW Keith, do I remember well you have the Jupiter-12 35/2.8?
Or was it the Perar?
Because I just bought one. It has a very potruding rear element.
Are you missing the lens fitment test jig for the GXR-M?

Thanks Michiel, as one crazy British comedian once said "that was no woman, that was my wife!"

The stars aligned for that shot - stormy grey sky, pink umbrella, red pink waterline on the ship, and the artificial beach with the chair facing backwards. Ah well, in a couple of years I'll get another one :)

No. Godfrey, but the lens has not been sended yet. It was an impulsive last minute bet and I didn't have time to check it. So I couldn't put it in the rig either.
I was sitting in front of the screen with the rig and other protruding lenses to compare and find out it would fit visually :)

I am glad I know for sure now. My first rangefinder lens in the 35mm range.

Michiel, I would be interested to see how that J12 works (it was quite fuzzy on the Epson R-D1s at close ranges). Contrary to some ideas implanted, it is a Sonnar design and not a Biogon clone.

Look how nice small it looks on the GXR (most of the lens is inside the camera :p)
I am curious too, because they can be found cheap.
Of course I will post some examples when I have it.

Well, I thought you had it. Could have given mine to you on a long term loan as well. Mine is one of the favored version (presumably the original Zeiss factory or the workers made it).

Don't have too much that shows resolution on the Jupiter 12, but this one was taken wide open at ISO 400, 1/195s.
I like the built in lens hood effect (recessed lens) and the size - I'll take a few next week.

Here is another image of the fascinating back wall of the Gehry designed gallery. The blue is stunning against a grey sky. Sigma 21-35 again - a nice lens.

@Godfrey: Wheels and Axles - like it a lot.

@WoodMancy: Quite surreal as the blue looks like the sky at first.

You guys have quite a selection of lenses. (Pot calling kettle black) :)

Yes indeed ... I have too many lenses as a matter of fact. Most get used pretty infrequently, are "nice to have" occasionally. For both the GXR and the Leica Ms, I could likely work with the trio of 21, 40 and 90 mm about 95% of the time and rarely see any lack.

But it is nice to have other options occasionally.

There are wonderful pictures in this thread! I look at them very interested because I have a film Leica system (M3, IIIa, ZM 25mm, 50mm Summicron and 50mm Summar) and would love to use these wonderful lenses on digital. Right now I have a Sigma DP2 which delivers beautiful color files and it is small and unobtrusive, but I would like to have different focal lengths available. I use the camera with a Petri optical viewfinder which I could use with the 25mm on the GXR... Anyway, please keep posting here, you are going to make me buy this camera. Regards

@ Keith :: this photo at the Gehry is stunning! You're pushing Rene Magritte ... :)
Thanks Godfrey,Michiel and David . . . It's tough not to get a good picture of this Gehry creation. He was born right in the neighborhood of the gallery.
