Zeiss lens - why are they so special?

Don't fret, according to the Leicaphiles, putting Zeiss-glass on a Leica is an abomination, somehow, it is considered 'inferior' on a Leica, but the very best when it comes to Rolleiflexes and Hasselblads. ^^

Go figure, Nikkors are fine glass as well.

And that folks is why I do not have Leicas and own Nikons instead for 35mm film.

I was accused of things more hideous when I mounted a Nikkor on my Leica.
