The Olympus Flex with F Zuiko 6 element 75/2.5 certainly came close in
image quality. That lens was the only glass that came close to the
Planars/Xenotars.
I still shoot an Omegaflex 67 TLR, and although it is a much larger
camera, the lenses are as well corrected to the Rolleis if not
superior. Plus there are 4 interchangeable optics from wide to tele.
