It's a Cooke Triplet using the modern hand guided computation and latest
glass type, and hand made.

It's not Leica image quality of course, and a Voigtlander may be "better"
in some aspect? OTOH, it's a very unique lens. Might be interesting to
compare it with the earliest 35mm from Leica, for example.
