Cropped a fair bit...

Seen at Vienna's "Albertina Modern" Gallery in the current exhibition "True Colors" (sic).
Jupiter-12 35mm f:2.8 (in Kiev/Contax mount)
Sony a7C
The Jupiter-12 is a clone of the Carl Zeiss Jena Biogon 35mm f:2.8. It's an extraordinary little lens with a surprisingly large rear element that extends far into the camera - almost to the film plane/sensor. Vignetting and distortion (pin-cushion) are far less than one might expect. I've corrected the the distortion for presentation of the image, but have hesitated to do to much brightening, as I wished to convey the dim lighting of the exhibition and the tonal range of the original.
My cat, Coco was following me around and wanted my attention. I had just finished up assembling the M42 mount onto my adapted Konica Hexanon 47mm f1.9 lens so she was the first real subject I could shoot with this lens on its real mount. And WOW! its so cool! This lens is crazy sharp and the blur and fall off of the background is pretty decent. This was @ f3.5-ish. I forget now. But It was really easy to dialing the focus with this lens. I'm sort of blown away.
It came off of a Konica Auto S rangefinder camera. I was hoping to actually get the old rangefinder working as it was a beautiful camera that seemed to be working in all the ways except that the shutter would not work. In the end, It just wasn't working.
It is now though!

A second test pic of the same leaf on my deck*.
This image with the Canon 50/1.4 LTM RF. This is not a close focussing lens. Also better to make sure the OOF highlights are a good 10 meters away to avoid frogs egg bubbles :-)

*Worth noting that my balustrade is tinted glass and that vertical line of rainbow highlights is from the edge of a panel. Tinting probably explains the cooler tones - not sure why I didn't twig to that in the CZJ 35/2.4 post.
Snapped these before the deer came and ate them. Taken with an H Coral 4.5cm/1.9 lens from an Aires Viscount rangefinder camera on Sony A7R3.
A Bomb Cyclone is upon us, so lots of wet weather ahead.
Taken with early 1950s A. Schacht Munchen Travenar 1:2.8 85mm LTM lens
Shot using a Mansfield Mantinar 40mm f2.8 Rangefinder lens that was converted to M42 mount @f4
Whats so cool about this lens is that its so cheap! They only used 4 blades in this lens. That and it was never meant to be used in a SLR application.
You can see the effect of the 4 blades of the aperture in the bokeh. It makes squares. And to most people, that's really "not great." I like it! Its different.

Protest graffiti on the art nouveau "Vereinsstiege" staircase in Vienna's 9th District.
Lens: Jupiter-3 1:1.5 F=5cm (red "pi")
Camera: Sony a7C
This very fast Russian M-39 Leica screw-mount range-finder lens combines beautifully soft background bokeh with great centre-sharpness.
Shot with a 1960s, Konica Hexanon 47mm f1.9 lens that was taken off of a Konica Auto S rangefinder camera. Shot at f2.2
I so wish I could have gotten that old rangefinder camera working again. I tried for a while, but in the end, it was too far gone. But at least the lens was salvaged and is back to capturing images. In reality, the lens was the heart of that camera anyway. And it still lives on!
The wild Bokeh of this lens is created by the 4 blades it has for its aperture. Under the right situations it can look like this or the image next to this one of the Forget-Me-Not flowers. The squares in the background are the rest of the rose bush this hip is a part of.
Shot using a adapted Mansfield Mantinar 40mm f2.8 @f11 and using a 30mm focusing helicoid to get closer to the subject.
