Hi Jim,

 

I was shooting the Jupiter wide open, hand held. The Summilux stopped down 
on a tripod.

 

The Leica lens costs about 22 times more then (the made in 1963) Soviet lens 
so it should be much sharper.

 

Haven't directly compared the two but I like the Jupiter very much for 
portraits of Grandma and the way it renders colour images.
