At the end of the day you are taking pictures for your own satisfaction. FWIW, last weekend I had a roll of Provia F slides on the light table, taken with the M6 and mostly the 35mm and 50mm Summicrons. My wife came by, glanced at the slides and said, "My God, they are so clear". This was her way to express the appreciation of Leica glass. You do not have to explain everything scientifically.
