Now the particular old Elmar I have is very old (nickel, uncoated), so that doesn't go for all Elmars. I have a lot of Jupiter stuff at: http://gallery.leica-users.org/By-Jupiter And one of my recent PAW's was with one (albeit on a Kiev): http://www.dlridings.com/paw2005/37.html Like Marc says, it's a hit and miss thing. But in my experience you get more hits with the Jupiter-8's than misses, compared to some of the other lenses (Jupiter-9 (the 85mm) for example).
