[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Just FYI...the 15 May issue of Amateur Photographer has a test of the 15mm Heliar and 25mm Skopar. Especially the Heliar gets really rave reviews, with a score of 90%, one of the highest I have seen in this mag for any piece of equipment. Optical quality gets 28/30. The Skopar also gets 90% combined, with an optical quality score of 27/30. The article concludes; "Even the most besotted Leica user could find a use for these lenses. After all, Leica has never produced a lens to match the 15mm of the Voigtländer, and the 21mm f4 Super Angulon that Leitz produced is about the same price as a laser-guided bomb." I hope Erwin gets a chance to test the Heliar soon.
