Last month I read a comment by Bob Shell on the BestStuff site. He said that he found negatives from his Helios were difficult to distinguishfrom his summicron.
Having both I did an informal test with a Kiev 2 with a Helios and a M2 with the Summicron DR.
Both were with Xp-2 super rated at 400.
however the Leica was shot on a sunny afternoon and the Kiev on a not so sunny day.
What do you think?

Both processed at the local Walmart
 
They are obviously NOT the same exposures. The Summicron's picture is showing shadow. I'd start by saying this isn't a fair comparison.
