They are often more than "pretty good". In some cases they represent an
interesting, low-cost alternative to a Leica lens (for example, the 50mm 1.1
vs. the Noctilux); in other cases they are available in focal lengths or
aperture combinations that simply do not exist in the Leica line, for example
the 12mm or the superb 1.2/35mm (I have the latter it is my favourite low-light
lens).
