For some reason, it occurred to me this morning that the old Jupiter 8, 
50/2, low serial number, made for Kiev, lens that I have had for years, 
which wouldn't focus well on my Barnacks, might work just fine on the 
Fuji X-E1.  So I mounted it on double adapters and took it out for a 
spin.  The aperture setting turns freely, so I secured it with a rubber 
band.

Shooting a brick wall showed proper focus, and no distortion, but I 
wanted a real subject.  I had seen this spot of color from a distance, 
so I checked out my neighbor's cool weather blooms.  To me, the Zeiss 
heritage shines through.
