While I like the Heliar, it is an odd beast, and limited to situations that require an extreme lens. For a long time I shot with a N***n 24mm as a normal lens, and I could see doing the same with the Skopar, if I still favored a wide lens. (My current work seems to lean more heavily on 50mm lenses and the occasional short tele.) But I could never imagine anyone using the Heliar as an all-purpose tool. I've never figure out how to remove the hood on the Skopar, by the way. Is mine simply screwed on extremely tightly? (I'm nervous about twisting too hard; don't want to loosen the barrel.)
