Hi George:
It is funny that Leica "snobs" can say that. I have a few pro, commercial
photographers that own and shoot with Leicas daily and when I told them I
got an Olympus OM with Zuikos they all gasped and said these are extremely
good lenses that DO compare with Leitz. "Good for you, OM's are great"...
To me it comes down to what you do with your Leitz or Zuikos, you can have
the most amazing lens, sharp as a katana, 1 million elements, but bad
subjects or no use at all, is like having a dirty brown beer bottle for a
lens.
peace
David
