"Anyone who think Zeiss cannot challenge Leica is off a bit. Lets for
argument sake that the Leica legendary build quality can hold up to
earthquake and firestorm. Big deal, get 4 Zeiss and you would still be
ahead. Use one to pound nails and you still have 3 to spare."

This pretty well echos the sentiments of camera repair guru Marty 
Forscher who told me decades ago that Leica build quality was good 
enough to last two lifetimes of heavy use. But, he added, "If you are 
only going to live one lifetime, why bother?"
