Jim, Why not "and" instead of "or" ? i'm absolutely not convinced of the inherent imaging advantages of Leica lenses over most others in daily usage. But I am absolutely convinced that the Leica lenses are extremely beautiful mechanical objects graced with extremely exacting optical designs. Sold at an extremely high price that implies extremely high standards in QC. There should not be dust or spots or scratches in those lenses when you take them out of the box. Even they do help taking real nice pictures.... Alan
