I believe you Jerry. The Zeiss and Kodak lenses in the 40s and even 50s were
excellent. It was really not until the late 50s the Leica lenses became
really superb. (See I can say something nice about Leica). Prior to that
many Leica users like HCB used Zeiss glass like the 50mm Sonnar on their
Leica bodies.

PS Have you seen the new M9. Looks really neat with a full frame sensor
(Kodak made). A little pricey for my blood at $5,995.
