Well for one thing, the OM 50 f 1.8 has horrid Bokeh, while Leica lenses are
usually better in that regard. The Leica 50mm f2 Summicron R is the only
Leica 50 that I have personally used and it's far superior to the Olympus
lens. I Like the OM-4T much better then the Leica R4 that I had. I hated
the ergonomics of the R4 so much I sold it and bought another OM-4T but I
miss that Summicron.
Here's a photo taken with the OM 50mm f1.8, shot at aperture of f4.

bar15.htm See how harsh the out of focus areas are?
Here's one with the Summicron, shot I think at f4 or 5.6.

Look at the out of focus area outside the window, see how smooth it all is?
