I warn you, those eyes will drive you to madness and beyond...?

That's at full-open f/1.5? I love the 'nostalghia' of the shot.
I got a Jupiter made in Kiev with a certificate signed from 1967 but it is more broken than I can fix.
Your picture has the spirit I was after.

BTW do you like Tarkovsky?

Thanks for appreciating my photo.

yes, it is full open. Camera in models hand: old Zenit and Helios-44-2

I respect Tarkovsky movies, some of them, but not a fan. I like David Linch and (especially) Lars von Trier.

sorry for bad english...

At least you know what I am talking about.
People have forgotten everything. It is a bit worrisome how good they are in forgetting.
Everything can happen again if they do not remember.

Your lens was for the Kiev 6x6?

What lens? Biotar 75/1.5? My for M42.

btw, what Jupiter do you have? I like Jupiter-8, beautiful small lens 50mm f/2. I also have Jupiter-3 50mm f/1.5, but I think this lens overrated...

I have the Jupiter 3. I tried to fix it but could not get it to focus very far. I lost interest.
I like very much the 'air' in your pictures. Very unlike the stuff usually on these forums. Call it soul if you like.

edit: I saw your Instagram feed.  Beautiful stuff.
