    250mm · f/3.5

    Overview

    The Jupiter-36 250mm f/3.5 is a heavy, front-heavy lens (about 1500g) with no tripod socket, making handling cumbersome (fupduckphoto). Optically, it offers very nice bokeh (photofying) but low contrast and only okay sharpness, especially when used on APS-C where only the center field is used (fupduckphoto). It suits budget-conscious medium format users or those needing a long, fast lens for digital, though manual focus and weight limit it to tripod or monopod use (fupduckphoto).
