I cannot let that go unchallenged (on this list), not wanting to start a 
'war' and this is personal opinion:

Leica lenses cover full frame or larger (S), this is much more demanding 
than APS-C or smaller.

Leica lenses are very well corrected and will work equally well on film. 
Mirrorless lenses only work on digital, IMO the lenses are corrected to a 
certain level and then the last bit is done in software - that is how the 
price is kept down. Sean Reid has shown some of this on his pay site, it is 
quite hard to get in and see the image before the camera has changed it 
(correcting barrel/pincushion distortion etc).

Engineering and build quality....

So you may say that the results from a Fuji come close to Leica, that is 
certainly not the same as saying that the lenses are similar ;-)
