Marc Small has written the book on the subject.
I own a black 35/2.8 and have recently acquired a Summicron to replace it.
The Jupiter was not a convenient lens due to the bare rear element, need
for an M adaptor, and recessed aperture adjustment. For those reasons I
didn't use it extensively.
I might run a test roll through to see how it compares to my Summicron, but
I don't have that at the top of my list.
Marc will probably have something more substantial to report.
