The sun came out today - I've been wanting to compare a couple of wides
for while, but I never thought the difference would be so much, and in
this order.
A view from our skylight window across the frozen canal:
Yashica 3.5/21mm at f3.5

Leica Super-Angulon-R 4/21mm at f4

Yashica 3.5/21mm at f8

If you take a look at the large versions, the Yashica lens is quite a
bit better at the edges both wide open and at f8.
I had heard that the SA21 was supposed to be not one of Leica's best
lenses, but that a very reasonably priced Yashica lens is its equal or
better was something I hadn't expected (I had suspected that it was
pretty good, but I had never shot a direct comparison before).
Technical details: Canon 20D at ISO equivalent 100
The shots have only been corrected for the exposure differences you get
when shooting at different f-stops with a Canon DSLR, sharpening is the
camera default setting.
Cheers
