The tests I performed were controlled, but of subjects that I typically shoot. They were portraits taken with several lenses of the same focal length. Therefore, it was quite simple for me to determine that in real-world situations the Rokinon would perform best for me.
Had I an unlimited budget to own the Leica back then and test it, I might have fallen in love with it. I\'ll never know, but I have no desire to purchase one. It just isn\'t an attractive value proposition to me. I guess I should consider myself lucky that I can be satisfied with a lens that costs so little.
When I see customer\'s eyes pop out of their heads upon seeing the photos, I think back to discussions similar to this one, and I simply smile to myself.
