You know, in all honesty, I love Leica because of the Leica M CAMERA. The
quality of the lens is a huge bonus, but if I must make a choice of M7/M9
but only shooting with Zeiss glass or (Sony NEX7/m4/3/Fuji XPro) with Leica
glass, I'd take the former any time.

When I look at prints from the top glass from Leica or the SWC Biogon, they
are truly breathtaking, amazing stuff. OTOH, I know I can only get some of
those shots because of the Leica M.
