>more reliable and sharper lenses.  

That is not true. In general the R lenses are just as sharp. And my 19
Elmarit R (latest) is just as sharp as the 35 Summilux ASPH. But since they
are so different, it's not really meaningful to compare.

What is hard to believe is that you could actually believe this trip about
Minolta designing lenses 10 years before they struck a deal with Leica. And
what do you see when you open up an old Leica lens? Signs saying "Made by
Minolta in Japan?"
