[Leica] Zeiss Wide Angle 35mm f/2 Biogon T* ZM

[images at comporium.net (Tina Manley)]

I have been using Leica cameras and lenses for over 30 years.  Along the
way, I've also used quite a few Japanese cameras and lenses.  For my
purposes, there is no comparison.  Leica lenses are so much better than
Japanese ones in every way.  When I switched to digital, I used Canon
cameras and lenses for awhile.   I hate to even look at those photos today.
 The Leica M9 with Leica lenses produces photos with more resolution,
greater dynamic range, no chromatic aberrations, no fringing, never any need
to sharpen.  My post processing on photos made with Leica is minimal to
none.  The Canon wide lenses are awful.

Of course, your mileage may vary depending on how you use your cameras, but
if your opinion of Leica is so low, why are you on this list?
