One could get "better picture[s] with a cleaned-out Pepsi bottle?" Is
this kind of comment necessary? Or beneficial in any way? Is it not
possible to appreciate Leica without indulging in absurdly hyperbolic
trashing of other brands?

I beg to differ. Vivitar, Tamron and the cheap-ass, entry-level Nikons
are not exactly high quality optics. You could probably get better
picture with a cleaned-out Pepsi bottle than many Vivitar lenses...
