Subject: [Leica] Heliar impressions

I posted my impressions of the Heliar as it compared to
the Contax I owned. I made no serious tests (sometimes just shooting and
enjoying good results is better than worrying about hypothetical optimal
performance), but did conclude that the photographs I was able to create
with this lens were as good (for me) as my Leica lenses (in making
pictures). . .no comparisons intended or heavy analysis necessary. Just an
impression! As for direct comparisons to a Leica 15 for the M,
we'll probably never know, will we.
