I have read stories on downloads that had been happened in a couple of hours after approval. Nothing of the kind happened to me, so far. My record is 6 days between approval and first sale. It took place today. Here is the image:

I started to take photo seriously in 2009 shooting sky objects (which my PF started with). Then I extended my interest to other subjects.
I would be grateful to those buyers who let me know how and where my images are used. It can be done by commenting the image that has been bought. Thank you!

Hah, I know what you mean. I'm lucky I got a good copy of the Jupiter-3. People tell me you're much more likely to get a good copy of the slower Jupiter-8 instead. Of course, the lens lacks too much contrast to be used at f/1.5 anyways, so I don't think the J-8 with an f/2 aperture is a bad choice anyways. I don't shoot my J-3 wider than f/2 anyways.

to Neddog: Hi. I never used these lenses for common photos, only for astrophoto. So. my experience is not too reach. Both lenses are OK being not open (f/5.6 or f/8 or even more closed).
One more remark: quality strongly varies from one lens to other.. So, it looks like a lottery :)

Hi Igor,
I notice you use the Jupiter lenses. Of course, I'm sure these lenses are more common where you are than where I am (Canada), but I thought I'd say hi from a fellow Jupiter user. I love my Jupiter-3 (1953 copy) to death, and am thinking of getting a Jupiter-9 in M39 LTM mount. My profile pic is taken in the mirror with the J-3. ;) How do you like your Jupiter-37AM and Jupiter-21M?

This is required at all microstock sites and DT is not an exclusion. Obviously, they need to identify you. On my opinion it' absolutely safe.
Igordabari
Thanks, Art!

Magnificent! Amigo.

to Alvera: Darling, do not use too complicated English, please. Remember that English is very difficult to speak (especially for one who does not speak English like me... :-) ).
Alvera
Two days would be enough! Proceed Commander Data! Warp speed!
Igordabari
to Alvera: Thanks, my friend... I'll try to develop an inside-cropping technique. I have no definite plans for the nearest weekend, so I'll be able to dedicate 2 days for the problem :-)
Alvera
Too much black space in center. But, till the scientist will give us a method to crop from INSIDE, I must approve your image. Your photos stays so long on queue because I am the second inspector for yours. They are reviewed by DT and after that by me. It was my request to DT staff because I like your photos so much and I want to be the first to see them :))))) I salute you, my friend! Good work!
Igordabari
Thanks a lot, Diana! :-)
