This lens has just blown my mind!

I picked up a J 8 today and now I need a J 3!........... will I ever be fulfilled?

Not likely, because, once you think you are done, you can always try other FSU LTM lenses, like I-61L/D.

Here's another one, shot last week when testing a Z6 from a fellow member. Two negs combined for one pano shot on 200 asa film, with Jupiter 3 from 1956:

That's stunning, Ron. I've never done something like that. I assume you just used a tripod and rotated slightly?

Incidentally, the last time I was in the Netherlands was when I was about 10. That is EXACTLY how I remember it! Beautiful place.

Very interesting indeed! I like to do software stitching of digital images, but to do the same with film shots... I don't see myself taking 100+ film exposures, scanning them and than stitch them But two or 3, I can still manage that

Thank you Tony. Actually I shot both pictures handheld, and honestly at that time I hadn't planned to make it a pano. But once I saw these pictures near each other on my computer I saw the pictures worked much better as a panorama. However since I did them handheld I lost some of the pictures when they were stiched together as you can see here:

Once digitized, there is actually no difference between combining digital images and digitized film.

Rarely see film panos but this is sweet scenery with good color balance. Picture seems perfect as it is or to me pic is nicely focused.

I miss using the J3. It is such a great lens.

Nice shots of autumn colors.

[Trius]

Wow. Makes one want to get a whole kit just for the J3.

The Jupiter-3 is an amazing lens, with surprising qualities. Compared to the Zeiss Jena Sonnar 50/1,5 the J/3 closes up to 22, instead of early Sonnars (f/8) and later ones (f/11) and this is a great help when taking pictures in daylight, especially with modern, faster films. As seen in the posted pictures though, this lens gives its best in low light situations.

My J-3 is from 1960, with Kiev/Contax mount. Bought back in 1989 (in Venice, from a Russian tourist).
