I had all Jupiter, Tamron , Tair I think Tair-11 is one of the best 135mm under 200 USD

some people tell me that Tair11 "white" M39 is better that "black" M42 version. but I can't compare because haven't "white" version. may be in future.


Better is always relative, different that for sure I have it also in past.

I'm a bit late coming in here, but I prefer the Jupiter images, even if the bokeh isn't quite as good. Colours & sharpness seem much better.

I consider these two as the best M42 135mm tele lenses I have ever tried. You can't go wrong with any of them Smile

Jupiter is sharper at f/3.5 and f/4, but its color rendition isn't constant amongst all samples: Different Jupiters have different coating colors - classic version has purple coating, version with CCCP quality mark has deep violet coating, MC version is purple and green... So different version can have different colors...

Anyway, Jupiter is highly underrated - if we consider price of TAIR, Sonnar, Trioplan (or other lenses which are in demand), Jupiter is much cheaper, but in many ways, it is at least as good...
