The 14mm and 18-55mm are killer lenses - better than Leica lenses adapted to anything. In fact, this points to one of the big vulnerabilities of the digital M: where a lens is designed to work with a specific digital camera, it can outperform a system based on a digital body that has been adapted (compromised) to work with a variety of film lenses.
