Hey, this is my video review of the KMZ Jupiter-9 85mm f/2 portrait lens, including a lot of photo samples and my personal impressions! The optics of this old Russian lens are almost identical to the famous Carl Zeiss Sonnar from the 1930s. It's really an all-time masterpiece reloaded!
Note that this is a vintage fully manual lens that needs an M39 (rangefinder screw-mount) adapter to be used on your modern mirrorless camera. There are M39 adapters available for all mirrorless systems.
Technical details:
I am using the Sony A7R2, so the resolution is 42 MP. All pics are edited to taste in Lightroom and exported with standard sharpness settings. However I don't correct for distortion, CA or vignetting unwise it is explicitly stated within the videos. So you can see the original character and also optical errors of the lens in the sample shots.
