By the way, my 50/1.5 Sonnar has a few air bubbles in it, which John told me
was typical for that period. So we shouldn't bash the Russians for making
Jupiters with air bubbles.

John van Stelten is getting ready to polish, clean, uncement, cement, and
coat a nice Zeiss Sonnar 50/1.5 LTM lens for me. Wish me luck. I have a
50/1.5 in Contax mount, but my Contax is not terribly light-tight, and I've
never been able to give that lens a good workout.

Any of you have experience with the 50/1.5 Sonnar?
