I will be reposting this as long as aomeone write
a answer. And if someone thinks about killfile,
I will dig out from there and shout and be ghastly :-)

Seriously: Doesn't anyone have anything to add?
Better discuss about cowshit?

> Hello friends!
> I recently tested these three lenses:
> Coated Summitar 2/50 collapsible
> Coated Industar 22 3.5/50 collapsible (is this a Elmar copy?)
> Coated Jupiter 3 1.5/50 - Sonnar copy
> 
> Results are somewhat strange for me:
> 
> At f/2 Jupiter was way ahead of Summitar
> At f/4 Industar/Elmar outperformed (wide open!) both
> Jupiter and Summitar, Jupiter took second place.
> At f/5.6 all lenses performed equally well
> At f/8 Summitar was best, Jupiter and Industar were worse,
> but still acceptable quality
> 
> At similar scale, Jupiter 12 (2.8/35, recent production)
> outperformed all these lenses from f/4 up to f/8
> 
> Please comment this. I hope both Marc Small and Erwin Puts
