Just to compare to the Heliar 50mm f2 a recent shot with the Summar (90 years old).

Still, I miss something with the Heliar 50mm f2, but I can't say exactly what it is. The image has something "mechanical". I agree with Bingley that the Color Skopar 50mm f2.5 is a nicer lens, not to mention the Summar.

The construction of the collapsible Heliar is impressive, really a collectors item.
