Well, there was a lot of mixed comments from people about the Zeiss Otus 55 F1.4, vis a vis it's price and image quality, but this Leica really puts things into perspective,
What do you get with the Leica? a hyper-expensive lens that apart from it's large F0.95 aperture with next to soup borders and corners, performs only decently stopped down to F5.6 and above and what can only be described as ordinary performance otherwise.
What do you get with the Zeiss Otus? The absolute top in imaging quality, stepping outside the usual realms of ordinary lenses and for a price of $7,000 less than the Leica!
It makes you wonder if Leica lens designers are refusing to come to terms with modern lens design.
