I respect Mr. Herr's photography and integrity. I have offered him a 
slide from the Canon 100mm. I do not believe the 100mm macro Canon at 
$579.95  will fare badly in side-by-side scrutiny with the Leica 60mm 
macro, or with the 100mm $2, 595 Leica macro [current B&H Photo pricing 
for both lenses]. I don't believe you will be able to see a difference.

I have always said, "If you can't see a difference, there ain't no 
difference worth seeing." Oh geez--just think how many hungry people 
that extra $2000 could feed....
