I have no Leica lenses, no intention to buy them and no money to buy them either :-). But pentax lenses are always compared to German lenses for its natural rendition and colour tone etc. I forgot the detail but Pentax's lens design was influenced by German ones and in fact, there was time when Pentax had a cross license agreement or something with one of the German lens makers (Contax or Leitz?). Nikon always went after the resolution and Canon (L series) are usually for bright colour rendition. That's why many seasoned photographers preferred Pentax for its lenses (PJ needed resolution and they went that way, at least until recently :-).
