            I so love the effects that you have given on this photo set. It was as if it was taken years ago. The soft glow reminded me of photos I saw on the Japanese magazines I have at home. I will definitely try my best to be as good as you (well that is if I already have a camera with me).

                  really great tones of colours...they all smells retro and vintage...Maybe because of the lens...as i see it has a great rendering and creamy bokeh..Maybe you know i like vintage lenses too nowadays i have Carl Zeiss 75mm f1.5 Biotar,i like it because of swirl bokeh and its rendering awesome....voigtlander 35mm f1.2,it has also creamy bokeh and great rendering and tiny Jupiter 3 50mm f1.5 as you already know it is copy of Carl Zeiss and it makes bigger than its size .... =)

                  Anyway have nice day and congrats....

                    I've heard and seen great stuff from the old Jupiter lenses, haven't had a chance to try one yet :)
                    The only thing close is the Russian clone Helios that I've tried.

                    Thanks for the comment :)

                          That's a stunning looking lens, looks to be really sharp in the center at least and the bokeh is beautiful!

                            Yeah I really love the way it renders out of focus areas!

                              Nice! I love using old lenses - I do use several old M42 lenses adapted for Canon - and you can get f1.4 glass for under 100 dollars. of course, all manual focus

                                That's the beauty of old glass, and coupled with mirrorless system cameras, are the best combination in the world :)
