The 2/5cm Sonnar and the Russian Jupiter-8 are the equivalent of the 2/5cm Summitar; either one should handily outperform the collapsible Summicron and be on par with the rigid/NF Summicron. The 2.5/5cm Sonnar and the Russian Jupiter-3 are the contemporary of the Summarit and easily blow it into the weeds: they are the effective equal in performance to the second-generation 1.4/50 Summilux. Both are superb lenses and worthy of consideration. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
