Lucien,
Well, this is what they say about the Skopar 25/4.0 (in German): 

(Maybe there is sample variation, or maybe Erwin Puts got a very early sample. I really don't know...)

"Optik: 9.8
Mechanik: 9.6

Abbildungsleistung: Exzellente Werte fuer Schaerfe und Brillianz. Extrem geringer Randabfall. Die Randabdunkelung ist aufgeblendet und abgeblendet hoch. Sichtbares Streulichtverhalten, das vor allem durch vagabundierendes Licht in der Testkamera Bessa L herruehrte.

Verzeichnung: -0,5 % / -1% (tonnenfoermig)
Zentrierung: Ausgezeichnet
Farbstich: Gering gruen
Bewertung: Hochkompakt und mit einem sagenhaft guten Preis/Leistungsverhaeltnis."

In this issue they also include a "FotoMagazin Special", with a collection of all their tests through the Years. The Skopar gets the same 9.8 points, and they say: "Exzellente Schaerfe und Brillianz mit extrem geringem Randabfall. Sichtbares Streulicht"

That is all I can report, but I bought a Skopar a month ago, and I will soon make up my own opinion. I have only used it for one roll of B/W, but there will be more!)
