So after waiting more than 2 months for my Jupiter 8 50mm to arrive from Russia, I realized that it was sent to an address that I wasn't expecting. Tomorrow it would have been sent back and finally figured it out today, that it's been sitting in the post office for over a month while I sit in agony checking the mail box every day for it to arrive. So just tested this little beast out, and I am VERY pleased :love4: $40, and it's pretty much my favorite lens already haha. Granted I only have a few lenses total, but I am loving this thing. The focus ring is so silky smooth, never felt anything like it before. The focus ring on a lot of modern lenses requires a really "short throw" to focus to a different plane, but on the Jupiter? It's like an old car without power steering, you gotta crank it a bit and it's much more forgiving.
I only got a few seconds of footage with it so far, but I know there are few people who are interested in this lens and what it looks like on the gh2. There's really only a couple very short clips on Vimeo with it, and it's hard to judge what it really looks like. So I'll be posting a quick vid maybe tonight or tomorrow. But for so little money, you really can't lose with the Jupiter.
