Very nice results. I have this lens too but it's not as sharp.

Miran, I was quite lucky. The first one I got off eBay was a dud. But this one (second) is good, all for USD25, off eBay 7 years ago.

Replying to an old topic but why now, it's an old lens.

 

A few shots I made with the Jupiter mounted on my NEX-6 just before I sold it. All wide open.

 I have one of these, it's OK. Somewhat inferior to my (now sold) Leica Summicron 50/2 and not in the same league as the Sony 55mm but quite a serviceable  lens and excellent value for money.

My black copy came attached to a Bessa R and is 1976 vintage. It has the KMZ factory symbol, which I think was a more upmarket Soviet one.

 

Under focus magnification the moon in this photo was a bit of a shapeless blob until stopped down to about f2.5, so I'll probably try not to go below that in future.

Using it on the Bessa R first did convert me to both stepless aperture and the aperture ring at the front of the lens, though the petite size does make it more fiddly to operate than the stepped Canon. But I like it more.
