Probably the last of semi-controlled comparisons of the Lomography Jupiter-3 Plus, just going to use it from here on in.
I took the Jupiter-3+, 1943 Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm F1.5 Sonnar T in LTM, the 1949 Nikkor-SC 5cm F1.5, and 1949 ZK 5cm F1.5 Sonnar back to Gunston Hall today. I used a tripod for the comparison shots, F1.5 and F4 for each setting. Changing 4 lenses is a bit much, so most comparisons are between the J-3+, 1943 Sonnar, and Nikkor. A couple with the ZK: which is nearly identical to the Sonnar. The internal serial numbers of the ZK show it to be a 1945 CZJ Sonnar.
We'll start with the ZK Sonnar at F1.5, for the 4-way comparison shots.
