I don't have any personal experiences from either Leica or Zeiss/Contax and
I certainly don't wanna start a war here, but when scanning through all
tests made here in Sweden by magazine FOTO the Leica's almost always have
come on top, something that rarely can be said for the Zeiss's. In fact, for
certain lenses (300/4), results have been downright disappointing. Although
fitted with the heftiest of price-tags (almost twice as expensive as Nikon's
300/4 AF) it was the among the worst of the lot, even the Sigma's and
Tokinas fared better.
These tests also show that Nikon indeed have some dogs, and that the best
lens maker today by far seems to be Canon, especially BIG (200m and up)
lenses (although often cheaper than Nikon). The 200/1.8 and 300/2.8 crushes
all competition, except from Leica.
