An informal comparison between the new Lomography Jupiter-3+ and a wartime CZJ 5cm F1.5 Sonnar "T" in Leica mount at the Manassas Battlefield.
Manassas National Battlefield Park (U.S. National Park Service)
Notice that there none of the pictures have any people in them... It was very cold and windy, too cold for a Tripod. I walked around with the Jupiter-3+ and then made a second round with the Sonnar. Shot each at F1.5 and F4. Most -not all- F1.5 shots are at ISO 80, 1-stop pull on the M9. The glass on the 1943 Sonnar is perfect, I rebuilt this lens. Both lenses used with UV filters and a Hood.
Similar shots, not the same between the two lenses. Again- cold and windy, and done quickly.
