The rest by our ubiquitous Cosina including the body. A great company in my opinion. But it ain't Zeiss. I can't bring myself to think of this as Zeiss against Leica. It just isn't. If Leica, bless their souls to stay alive or whatever start having a line of bodies and lenses made in Asia lets compare THOSE against the Cosina-Zeiss or Cosina-Voigtl?nder. That would be a realistic comparison in terms of tolerances, build and price points. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
