[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have photos from a $12 Helios 103 that I adapted to Leica that can not
easily be picked out from the same images with a brand new 50mm Summicron
(not ASPH). I did side-by-side test shots in the real world; Helios then
Summicron, wash, rinse, repeat. I put together a little slideshow of the
images and tested a few of the Leica shooters here in Philly which was
which. Not very many people got the images right and when I desaturated the
photos, even fewer did.?I'm just sayin'.

Voigtlander 50mm f/3.5 Heliar IV M mount
How dare we question that a lens costing a 15th of a Leica lens is not in
close competition with it?This is a Leica list which is why we easily accept
this.It?s just words Paul. It?s just business. It?s just ?putting it out
there?!Saving money seems to make people want very badly to fool themselves
and everyone else around.$7995 for the Summicron$529 for the Cosina.$7995 /
$529 = 15.1It?s the camera that?s cool why waste money on glass? -- Mark

"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. Paul www.PaulRoark.com
