I have both the Canon EF 50/1.4 & 85/1.8.

Which come close to Leica?  Depends on your work flow.  I scan my negatives
and then work with the digital files for output.  Perhaps if I used a drum
scanner, I could see more difference, but at a mere 4000 dpi, the scanner
can't capture all the resolution that either my Canon or Leica lenses can.
In my workflow, my scanner is the great equalizer.

That said, at the end of day looking back, when I select the favorite images
from my body of work, the Leica ones are usually the front runners.  Has
nothing to do with performance of the lens.  Probably more the mindset I'm
in when using my Leica.
