Bob and Larry are correct, these were taken a few minutes apart and at slightly different positions (on a tripod). I was having some issues with the Heliar and the Pacemaker's built-in shutter release, so I had to move the camera and do some fiddling. That's definitely another plus for the Schneider press lenses. Their rather long shutter-trip lever works well with the Pacemaker's built-in shutter release.
The shutter for the Heliar does not have flash capability so I expect to use the Xenar a fair amount as well. When I get some more formal comparisons I'll post them for all.
