Yes, in the hands of good photographer the Pentax lens will produce far more worthwhile, interesting images, than will the Leica lens in the hand of an unskilled "photographer." However, it's not hard to see the difference....Now....A $1000 Nikon or Canon lens and a $2400 Leica lens, THAT gets a little tougher....;-) B.
