Maybe possible under ideal conditions, but in real life I would take the

Has anyone ever tested this claim by Cameraquest 
<https://www.cameraquest.com/> ?

"The new Voigtlander 50mm f/3.5 Heliar IV Leica M Mount is extraordinarily 
sharp, comparable to Leica's 50mm f/2 APO Summicron-M!"

It came around in an email circulation.

It seems a bit over the top.
