I've always heard them called "Jupiter," but this one was sold as a "Yupiter." I've only run a few rolls past it, and I'm most interested in the wide open performance, as I have a 50 Summicron. I have jet to get into the darkroom to see what kind of 11X14 it will produce; but so far as scans go, it's decent. Like the country and western song says, "It ain't love (leica?), but it ain't bad." Two shots with the (very) poor man's Summilux, wide open, of course. http://www.worldpath.net/~pjs/17.jpg http://www.worldpath.net/~pjs/18.jpg Phil Stiles NH USA
