I will be honest that I know very little about high end manual focus lenses, like the ones from Leica.
I think this would be a good homework assignment for me, to do research on them.
Maybe I should just save for a long time and make one of them my next lens. Theres no better way to understand something than to use and study it.
The only problem with Leica's high-end manual focusing lenses is that they are made only for Leica M-mount cameras: Leica discontinued its manual focus R-mount 35mm film camera and all lenses recently, and their S2 digital medium format camera and all of its lenses are, GASP!--autofocusing!!!!!!!!
Zeiss is now selling high-end manual focusing lenses in Nikon F, Canon EF, and Pentax K-mount, at around $1100 per lens.
