What I really like about the modern version of this lens is the high contrast and flare performance. You may not have that with older versions.
The new version of the Jupiter 1.5/50 (which is a classic Sonnar 1.5/50 design) now being made in Russia allegedly has modern coatings and baffling. One of the retro lens companies, Lomography, is selling it in the US. It\'s about half the price of the C-Sonnar. I would be surprised if the coatings and bafflings are up to the C-Sonnar standard, but I guess it\'s not impossible. Anyone tried it?
