I based my comment on the relative price of 135 lenses on my ability to buy 135's for about $100. The Jupiter's that I have come across run in the $50 range. If you could point me to a US source for a decent Jupiter 135 much less than that I would like to acquire one. LTM or Contax mount would be fine.

And I have yet to hear a single qualtity-contol issue involving a Jupiter-11.
