I agree that Sigs are beautifully engineered and built, just like an Omega. I would argue that the Leica is the camera counterpart to an Omega as its price point is similar and they can be purchased used reasonably. I have Canon FD, EOS and DSLR equipment and while dependable and well-engineered, do not have the quality feel of a Leica M.
