Certain lenses in the R line simply have no rivals such as the 100/2.8 APO, 19/2.8, etc. I have shot Leica R alongside another pro using Nikon for formal portraits for wedding and Bar Mitzvah work, and you can very definitely tell the superiority of the Leica glass. The Leica glass has superior sharpness and clarity, to the point of being able to count the threads on the Torah covering. And this is even apparent with more mundane lenses like the 35/1.4.
