There are many who swear the Heliar is the finest lens produced, the only such lens I am aware of is on an old Kodak Medalist, of which many said is one of the best lenses ever put on a camera. So I would be very interested to know about this if anyone has information. The Skopar design was mediocre.

What the quality of the 15mm ? Is the 25 mm already availble ? BTW, did somebody heard or tried of any other Wide-angles ? (Ricoh 21 mm? ) Xavier.
