I remember that when it first came out the Heliar 50/3.5 was reviewed in 
Mod. Photo. as being the sharpest 50 they'd ever tested.

That 50/3.5 is worth its weight in gold if you can stand the small

But how does it compare to the Elmar 50mm f3.5? I have a couple of those. Is 
it worth $1000 USD more?
