I don't want to speak for Henning, but recall that he found the quality of the Zeiss filters mediocre. I will point out that this doesn't jive with the experiences of any other Hologon user I have encountered. I would further suggest that substantial differences in optical performance between either Hologon and the "Heliar" (gag me: an honest Voigtlander name being so abused!) might well show up with sufficient enlargement but, as this focal length doesn't interest me, I'm not going to test any of them for myself. However, I encourage others with these lenses at hand to either have a proper Erwin-style evaluation conducted or, at the least, to compare images on 20" by 24" enlargements or greater.
