I have said for a long time that the Leica glass will not show the same
superioeity when in front of a digital sensor as in front of film.  It will
be different.   Leica glass may be better, but you will not be able to
discern that difference ( as easily?  at all?) in the digital capture
domain..

Why bother with a Leica lens when you can take a fantastic lens and tweak
the rest in Photoshop? The difference is so small you wouldn't even lose
any tonality.

Software is where it is at now, not glass. Everyone has good glass.
