My thoughts too when I saw some of the samples.

Anyway given a choice I would exchange my 5D MK II for a Nikon D800E + a 
set of Sigma macros and still know that the lenses are the limiting 
factor that will not be solved by Leica glass. A couple of Zeiss wide 
angles added though. All the choices of film spectral responses and 
more. Whether I have the talent to use it is another question so there 
is no urge.
