Resolution is the wrong word. These two lenses produced results equally 
sharp. Light fall off about the same throughout the f2.8 - f8 range I stick 
to. The colours using the same colour film (Agfa Ultra 100) in pretty 
constant lighting were different. Not Velvia - Provia different though. 
Colour balance may be a better description.

If both lenses were priced the same today I'd take the Leica for it's 
slightly better build quality. With the 1/3 or more price difference 
factored in I'd take the Zeiss.
