Also Sonnars and their Russian clones (Jupiter 3 - 1.5/50, Jupiter 8 - 2/50)
are pretty good performers, very fine at f/5.6 and above and workable
wide open. You just have to find a properly assembled one! :)
Sonnars also have six air-glass surfaces, so they work well even
if not coated at all. Try this with Planar :))))))))
