Hi Logan,
I have the 300 2.8 IS lens and I would say it is on par with the Leica
lenses. I have not found the other lenses in the same league but then I
have not shot Leica R for very long.... I am however switching to Leica R.
I will be selling my Eos 1v and lenses to finance the new Leica R stuff.
