[Leica] Cameraquest claim re. Voigtlander 50mm f/3.5 Heliar IV M mount

[Mark Rabiner]

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 = 15.1

It’s the camera that’s cool why waste money on glass?

    Has anyone ever tested this claim by Cameraquest

    "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.
