D-LUX5 all the way EVF faster lens .not Panasonics as not as good quality.! I found information about the Japanese made Leica lenses how these lenses take 40 minutes for each element to be individually ground, polished and tested then the 1 to 4 coatings are added on Leica made imported machines to very tight tolerances, whereas the Panasonic models use mass production techniques on their own machines to tolerances specified by Leica but with their own coatings including the own brand Panasonic Black Box Nano surface coating, parts and picture processing firmware (Panny uses its own Venus engine) for both have large differences as do the CCD qualities and manufacturing tolerances the CCD's are made by different manufacturers the ones for the Leica brand are all tested, differences in lens quality and coatings and firmware make the better colours and less aberrations @ wide apertures. Finally we have the “Red dot” and better 2nd hand resale values.
