Julian,
I wonder if comparing a Macro lens, which is corrected for best results
at short distances, to a normal lens is a fair comparison.
Also, the scene you selected will not bring out such subtle differences
as are color hue, rendition of unsharp objects ("bokeh") etc., which
might differentiate a Leica lens from a Canon lens.
