Hello Subu. Some of the lenses by Leica are well designed and capable of nice, excellent results. Of course, you cannot expect to put a 100000$$ lens on a 10$ camera. First reason, the lens are sturdy, heavy, the camera needs to support it. Then Leica can repair for a long time (well in France, you cannot repair the SL/SL2 any more, pity, eh, it's been only 30 years since...) Try to get your Nikon FE repaired in a (not so) civilized country such as France.... --------------------------------- Xavier F.
