Subject: [Leica] Heliar 4,5/15mm versus Super-Elmar-R 3,5/15mm

It seem hard to believe that the BAS test laboratory found exactly the
same results
with both the Voigtlander (Cosina) Heliar 4,5/15mm and Leica (Zeiss)
Super-Elmar-R 3,5/15mm.

9,4/10 for the Heliar and 94/100 for the Super-Elmar regarding the
optical performance.

(9,6/10 versus 98/100 for the mechanical quality)

For your information, the hereafter are the optical results
BAS gave to some other Leica R lenses.

19/2,8 = 98/100
24/2,8 = 94/100
28/2,8 = 96/100
35/1,4 = 94/100
35/2 = 94/100
35/2,8 = 96/100

No comment !

I look forward to see if this is corroborated by other sources.

Luggers, what are your experiences with that lens?
