x-trans and Jupiter 8

The Jupiter 8 is one of my favorite lenses for 35mm film. I was pleased with its performance on my X-E1 -- the first digital camera I've bought since maybe 2006.

Steve Gallimore had written:

"Two of my favourite manual lenses on my X-E1 are the Konica 40mm f1.8 Hexanon (pancake, so 'normal size' with the adaptor) and the 'modern' 7artisans 35mm f1.2, which is a native Fuji X-mount lens with a vintage optical formula (CZ Sonnar)."

I have the Mark II of the 7Aritsans, but haven't had much chance of using it since it arrived due to a week+ of thunderstorms, The weather is finally clearing, so should have some examples soon. The Jupiter 8 is a Sonnar design.

I guess I need to learn to edit posts with images :cool:

Ok, done.

OK, this is my old Jupiter-8 on my old NEX-5N

Nice little lens, repurposed from my old Zorki 3M, so it didn't exactly cost anything in this incarnation.

Edit: sorry, just realised the thread is about J8 on X-trans, which my NEX ain't.

J8 is a favorite of mine. Nice to see it working well on other mirrorless cameras.

The 7artisans 35mm f1.2 is about as close as you're going to get to a native crop sensor version of the Jupiter-3 50mm f1.5 (or the Zeiss original).
