Marc -
I have an acquaintance who owns an Optical/Laser company and can afford any
camera and lenses that he so desires.  He swears by Zeiss optics used on
Leica
bodies.  I dont know if it is true, but he has told me that Zeiss can make a
plano
element so flat that it needs no balsam to cement the elements together like
the
Leitz lenses do.  I have come across fungus and seperation, a great deal with
Leitz lenses.  This man is constantly looking for Orion adapters to use Zeiss
optics with Leica bodies.
As you are an authority on this subject, I would like to hear any comments.
