Before and during the Second World War, Carl Zeiss Jena made small runs of their 2/5cm and 1.5/5cm Sonnars in LTM. After the War, production of these lenses was made in the USSR, and has continued to the present -- the Russian lenses were initially called "ZK", for "Zonnar Krasnagorsk", and, from 1952 or so, "Jupiter-8" for the 2/50 and "Jupiter-3" for the 1.5/50.
