First of all, I don't see any "softness" in these images as Askey says.
What I do see is what looks to me like differences in lenses, focus,
magnification and depth of field. It's hard to do a precise comparison
when the sensors are different sizes and one shot is taken at f/6.3 and
the other at f/9 and, of course, both with different lenses. The most
obvious difference is the image of the Leica lens which has low contrast
and is a little blurry which I think is a focus/DOF problem. Note that
it's the closest thing to the camera. All I can say is there's not a
whole lot of difference in the images produced by either camera... under
studio lighting conditions at ISO 100. Not a hard test.

The Nikon has a 6MP sensor and so the images are a little smaller. It
also has a minimum ISO of 200.
