Dan, you missed a noteworthy chapter
in the Heliar story. Voigtlander fitted a
75/3.5 Heliar on some of its Superb TLRs
and the lens is capable of memorable images
on that body.

Sanders, AFAIK, the 75mm on the Superb is the same as the 1920's Heliar f/3.5 version in my article. I dont think the 75mm was a uniquely different version Heliar....

There were LOTS of Voigtlander cameras that had the Heliar option. Check out this post for greater details - post # 23

Great reading, I am so glad that my Mamiya 105mm f/3.5 is a Heliar (Dynar)...

I am in love with this lens..

That could be interesting!(?)
