The truth is, I haven't tried any of them. BUT... And, this is a big BUT... Photo editors and photo researchers...who pay for my bread...and butter...and Leica equipment (be it German or Japanese) LIKE THE COLOR. I'm sorry that your cats and dogs don't...'cause mine do because it buys their kitty and dog chow... FURTHERMORE I'm not trying to get your cats to use my work, am I? So why should I even care about your cats and dogs...and even small children??? And your comments about the Japanese lenses for the R system...are useless...because by your own admission you haven't tried them... So, just why did you even bother to write this??? Geese, should I even bother to comment??? Cordially, Jack Hamilton Milwaukee, Wis. USA
