Looking through the Ikon/Ikonta groups on Flikr I notice that I click on a disproportionate number of Novar images. Despite the fact the Tessar is technically the "better" lens, I seem drawn to the less modern look of the Novar.
Here are a few recent shots, not scientific since the settings and films are different. The first two are PanF with a Novar on a 6x9 Ikon, the other two are HP5 with a Tessar on a 532/16 Super Ikonta. A subjective thing I guess. If memory serves the first three were all shot wide open; 4.5, 4.5, 2.8 while the last one was about F11.
Looking around I don't see many comparisons of these in the same place so thought I'd post one.
