Wow this test really helped me out. I am just now buying my first M from a member here, and I have been in heavy search for a nice 50mm lens that wont break the bank (as the M already has) ... I am only 24, but I have shot film SLR and fixed lens RF for a few years and I am really a huge fan of using the 50mm length, anyway, I was thinking the Jupiter wasn't going to be good enough to satisfy, I was in the market for the canon I THOUGHT, after seeing this I will save the 200 bucks. Anyone have a lead on one for a good price!! haha I am probably off to evilbay most likely! OP, Great test! helped me out ALOT. Thank you!

Is the Millenium Nikkor 50/1.4 also a Sonnar?

No, according to everything I've read (Rotoloni, et al.); haven't seen any diagrams, though.

Some help please. I have acquired a CZJ 5cm f1.5 in LTM. It's a keeper and makes nice photos. Can anyone please advise what is the filter ring size? A a 41 is too large, and a 40.5 won't fit. Thanks in advance.

It should take a 40.5x0.5 mm diameter filter according to the Soviet era spec paper that came with the lens.
I have a modern Olympus UV filter on my J-3 lens right now and it happens to fits perfectly fine.
Check your lens for a slightly dented front rim or damaged threads, as these can cause filter mounting problems.

Sonnar is a household word now, thanks to a lot of discussions like this one which means under American law that the name can be used by any lens manufacturer . . .
