Right!
For a while I had an original Biogon - it was OK!

You suffered from "Russian Roulette".  The original 2.8/3.5cm Biogon was,
in fact, designed for color film, the first of Ludwig Bertele's
formulations to be so figured.  A properly made Jupiter-12 will produce
superb images either in B&W or in color;  one especially well made will
certainly equal the 2.8/35 Summaron.
