Hi Mitch,

Yes, you will see a superiority in Leica R glass to other makers, similar to 
what you see from the M lenses.  Certain lenses in the R line simply have no 
rivals such as the 100/2.8 APO, 19/2.8, etc.  I have shot Leica R alongside 
another pro using Nikon for formal portraits for wedding and Bar Mitzvah 
work, and you can very definitely tell the superiority of the Leica glass.  
The Leica glass has superior sharpness and clarity, to the point of being 
able to count the threads on the Torah covering.  And this is even apparent 
with more mundane lenses like the 35/1.4.
