Canon LTM Comparing the Canon 50 1.8 & Jupiter 8?

You can always buy a J8 in addition... for that Sonnar look 😎
hey, they're cheap!

I have both lenses, tend to you use the Canon a lot more. My J-8 has the tab but the focusing ring was a little stiff. Yuri from Fedka recently re-lubed it for me. I plan to use it more. I use both lenses on my Ms, Barnacks and Canon P.
