The guy called a ZM lens a world class optic and started going into the
great history of Zeiss and said "the Zeiss lens"  was better than the Leica.
I think when one pays one third the price for something you  get cheaper not
better. Once in a blue moon that is not the case. I cant think of any
examples.
Thanks for the great compliment after the " shiny bald unnuanced assertions"
phrase I'll cherish it the rest of my life.
