1.  100 APO macro.  Stack it up against any other brand.  You'll see the
difference.
2.  80 Summilux.  Ditto.
3.  The APO zooms.
4.  The ASPH zooms.
5.  Manual everything when you want it.  Auto everything when you want it.
Try the latter with an M system.
6.  If you don't need AF, Leica and Contax are the best 35mm system in the
market.
7.  50 Summicron.  World class lens for $400 or less used.
8.  Compose while focussing on anywhere besides the middle.
9.  There isn't a single dog in the lens line.  Yes,  Not even the Sigma
designed 28-70.  Yes, not even the Leicaflex era lenses.
10.  TTL flash control.
