I am a vehement advocate of Leica R and M lenses, they are the best in the world for ruggedness and performance (not necessarily the "sharpest"). It's the bodies where Leica doesn't stand out as "the best." That being said, Canon's L series lenses are darn close, for a Japanese manufacturer for ruggedness. They're dang tough. They aren't quite as simple as Leica, though, and that can lead to mechanical problems. All else being equal, Leica is the best.
