Hi Jack:

Thanks.

The Vaskar is a triplet while the Color Skopar is really a Tessar 
design, so I too was pleasantly surprised with the results.

In Leica history, I think that an Elmar 90mm was a triplet and an early 
"fast" 3.5 Elmar was a Tessar design... I read it somewhere. ;-)

I'm going to try a roll of color film next.

Jim
