If remember correctly even the guru Marc had trouble finding himself a decent one. So how many Avenon/Kobalux lenses has he tested? And on what kind of a test is based the claim that the Heliar is - to use the proper optical term - *shit*. I´m still waiting for my Heliar, so no other comment at this stage. All the best!
