Will someone please post large direct comparison photos of the exact same subject in the exact same lighting shot with both a Heliar and maybe a Tessar or Symmar or whatever at the exact same focal length and F-stops?

See this series of comparisons by Armin Seeholzer. It should keep you busy.

And serve Hors d'oeuvres and maybe a nice wine....

I submit this image with a question. I have trade my 240/4.5 Heliar for another one 210/4.5 Heliar Linhof selected...
The 210 has very small separation on the front. If there is a problem when taking a picture what it will be?
This is at f4.5 HP5+@200 in APH Adox 1+50 for 11 minutes

Mine is a 210mm and also has a big deal of separation. I don't think one can ever see real problems in the images produced, unless you do a side by side test. Even then, I am not sure you could tell the difference.

Yes, Ramiro, I agree. And I am amazed with the sharpness at f 4,5 ...
