The Minolta AF 135 f/2.8 is considered as an excellent fast prime lens or a must have. Can an old M42 prime be as good or better than the hyped Minolta fast prime?
The fact is the M42 Jupiter 37A is 6X less expensive on the after market (both are discontinued)

The camera used for the test is the Sony Alpha 700 with Super Steady Shot OFF, cRaw mode, A mode, with a tripod
The test scene is the following:
