From the "forgotten lenses" drawer: a modern replica of the Jupiter-3 Soviet lens (itself a copy of the CZJ Sonnar 50/1.5) made by Zenit/KMZ for Lomography in 2016 and discontinued shortly thereafter. It was recomputed to do away with focus shift and remains overall faithful to the original's character - only a bit sharper and with bolder colors, presumably due to the newer coatings. I took the picture below (daughter working on party dress...🙄) several years ago, but now that it's been un-forgotten, I'll be posting a few more shortly - if only because I couldn't find pictures taken with this lens on the forum.

Interesting indeed. Is it an LTM lens?

Yes. The dedicated site is still up, although when I asked Lomography earlier today, they confirmed that it was discontinued years ago.

Edit: it seems that a couple of eBay sellers had stashed away a few copies (or had them built...) so if anyone wants one and feels adventurous...

In keeping with the thread's rules😉, here's one with the M11 and a converted 1954 Angénieux S21 50/1.5 wide open

I have one, straight from Lomography. 
I didn't realize it was discontinued.

Neither did I. But retrieving the lens had me go the Lomography website (hadn't checked it for a while): I noticed the J-3+ wasn't there, so I sent them an email. Within a few hours, I received the following reply from their Head of Online Shop & Customer Service:

"Yes, the jupiter 3+ is unfortunately out of production for some years already."

There may still be (or have been) some kind of local "grey production", though. But it seems very much unofficial and probably illegal: no boxes, no guarantee, etc.

A few unremarkable shots to illustrate the rendering of this lens at f/1.5. Note the slight pincushion distortion on the last picture (although this is not a complex one and easily correctable with -3 in LR).
