Hello,
being myself a Contax/Kiev enthusiast, in my opinion the best results can be obtained with the Sonnar 85/2 (a red "T" postwar Jena or a western "Zeiss Opton" one, would be the best -although expensive- choice). I've had very fine results with the Jupiter-9: my one was made in 1960 and I own it since 1978.
In the 42x1 range, I've found as highly effective the Zeiss Jena Pancolar 80 1,8; a lens that's uncommon to find, but never too expensive (although lately, such DDR and USSR lenses' prices are increasing...).
Best wishes,
E.L.

Probably because of the APO Summicron 90/2, it's all business. The latest Elmarit M seems to be as good as the APO. They just want more purchases of the APO? I wonder...
