Hi all,
I recently replaced the 135mm 4.7 Xenar on my Crown Graphic Special with a 135mm 4.5 Heliar, and I made one set of comparison shots to share. These were taken at close distance at f/11, beyond the capability of the rangefinder, developed in Pyrocat-HD and scanned on an Epson 4990. There is approximately 1/2" difference in the actual focus point (I aimed for the nose), but the character differences between lenses is pretty obvious irregardless.
First up is the Xenar:
Next is the Heliar:
