The lens I use the most is the Zeiss 35/f/2.8 Biogon.  Leica has more
consistent and solid construction from what I've experienced, but the
2 Biogons I have, no doubt Cosina built, are in the Leica class in
terms of the images I've been getting.  (The 18 ZM Distagon is not.)
So, the Zeiss-Cosina team can, at its best, make optics that are
really top notch.
