I think we'll just have to disagree on this a little. The Mamiya 6 and 7 lenses were indeed superb, but I never liked their 645 lenses as much as my Zeiss/Hassy lenses. I had both. Don't know the Fuji/Hassy lenses enough to talk about them. I prefer Leica's image rendering over the Mamiya 6/7 lenses, despite the superb par that both represent ... although the differences are subtle, the Leicas M and R lenses always produced results that appealed to me more. I just couldn't afford a Leica R system of lenses, or I'd still be there waiting for the Leica R digital which is going to happen within the next year... !
