It's a 35mm f2.8 biogon, and they're cheap...I got mine for about $60 and I may have paid too much for it... Anyway, I'm impressed. It has a nice "look", I don't really have a good way of explaining it. My 35mm asph f2 is certainly sharper (subjectivly), higher in contrast, and less prone to flare...*but* the jupiter is giving me something that I like... I'll have to shoot more to figure out what it is... On a related note, I need to shoot with my screw mount stuff more often. A fair number of my shots came back under-exposed and I worried that I was losing my "touch" of shooting without a light meter. When I checked my camera, I realized what my mistake was... Those are not full stops on the shutter dial:-) How soon I forget... Instead of dialing in 2 stops, it was closer to 1 stop...oh well, guess I'll have to re-train myself...! Isaac
