Leica puts reality in front of us. Like some one quoted, other cameras, including Nikon, show the scene in an artistic way. For example in the trees photographs of Nikon list, most of the pictures look like more like paintings than reality. To me they look unnatural rather than bringing out the reality. For example the picture with the tree and hut, can you tell the distance between the tree and the hut? I cannot. These are flat two dimensional pictures. While Leica puts reality in front of us. I think optically Leica lenses are the best, OPTICALLY. I had been an ardent user of Nikon and other SLR cameras, and still do. They have their own strengths, particularly the extra telephoto and close-ups or fish-eyes. But optically, I think Leica is incomparable to any. I do not think I am biased.
