hi,
I'm pretty much tempted by a 50/2 collapsible heliar for my m3, because of all I read about his "caractere", great bokeh etc. But there's also a lot of things around the fact that it's soft at f2 and start behing sharp only around f4 or something. Can someone tells me exactly if it's true? On the contrary, I read also that it's very sharp even a full aperture, and was as good as a planar or a summicron. So what's true? Does someone compared this lens with some modern design such as planar, summicron or hexanon M ?
How is it on prints? Is it possible to get a good large print of a shot at F2 with the heliar, like you can with a cron?
thanks (and please excuse my english if I made some mistakes, I'm french).
