Is it a good lens to use wide open? I've got Pentacon 135 2.8 bokeh monster...do you think sonnar could have a best magic look for outdoor portraits? Thanks.

yes , very sharp lens even at wide open, you can't get different portraits , probably sharper one, bokeh is same.

I got one sonnar (zebra version) a month ago: I have not tested it deeply - I don't shoot teles very often - but from what I see it's an amazing lens all-round.
I also have the pentacon, and I like it, but I'd say the sonnar belongs to a different (higher) league.

I got a Zebra 180 with lens hood and P6 > M42 for 105gbp.
The IQ is good wide open, but it's a big lens which takes up too much space in my kit bag to use often.
Some wide open shots from the other weekend....

How good is it compared to its "bastard child" the Soviet Jupiter-6? Jupiter-6 lenses go for ~300$ minimum, and some for twice that!

MC versions of Sonnar 180/2.8 have slightly higher contrast. The Jupiter-6 is built better (more aperture blades that are not failing). I've seen at least one Sonnar with broken aperture.
