I believe their findings were accurate: my experience with both lenses was
the same. However the Leica lens has a much more attractive and less harsh
contrast. The Nikon mount was a pretty cheezy plastic one which wore out
very rapidly. OTOH the Leica one (50/2) of that era was not very sturdy
either IME: I got through three of them.
