No other optic comes close, until we go to the realm of the monumental 120. By that I mean the physiological response to the viewing experience of the hanging neg. strip, or chromes on a light table. One's jaw goes a little slack and the eyes open up just a bit, and one's head goes up and down digesting the manifested visual epiphany. I can not, try as I might, after all these years, to be indifferent and complacent to a hanging strip of Leica generated images.
