50mm Heligon or 50mm Xenar?

[Steve M.]

I recently acquired a tiny Balda Baldinette folder w/ a 50mm Xenar. Looks like a nice lens, but I recently saw one w/ a 50mm Heligon? Is that a "better" lens than the Xenar, or should I just shoot what I have? Sorry about the noisy pic. Thanks.

I guess it's a Xenon as I've never seen a 2,0 Xenar. This has been the top-lense of that time and it as good as the Heligon. If it would be a Xenar you should look for a sun-shade because it will be uncoated.
