In other words, Leica IS separated from the electronic cameras by the superb quality of the lenses. An Omega or Rolex is "just" a watch, as, forfend the thought!, is my trusty Girard-Perregaux. Now, how do "watches" distinguish themselves? By the quality of their timekeeping and, in that regard, a Rollex or Omega or even a GP is so much of a show-off thing. How do cameras distinguish themselves? By the quality of the pictures they take. And, in this regard, Leica (and, arguably, Contax) dominate 35mm in lens quality. Hence, no parallel.
