What is a Leica?
Some say the original Leica was intended as a compact camera for landscape photography, particularly during mountain hikes, but other sources indicate the camera was intended for test exposures with 35mm motion picture film. The Leica was the first practical 35 mm camera that used standard cinema 35 mm film.

Is A Leica better than a Sony?
I believe that the a7R-II(m) produces better images than the Leica, whereas the a7(m) produces images that are every bit as good as the Leica images.
Either way, you get more for your dollar with a converted Sony of any model. I must say a little something about the lens used here for this test.
Is A Leica a good investment?
Film cameras are a better investment
Older Leica digital cameras hold their value really well but will decrease in value each year even if buy used. Buying new Leica cameras is a near guaranteed money loss but life isn’t just about money.
