It's a lot more than just resolution.

Canon lenses are made to work with a DSLR and have to sit further from the sensor. Canon lenses also need room for AF modules and other electronics Leica M lenses don't have.

Great. Thank you.

However, look at the following comparison.

Leica Summilux 1.4 vs Distagon T* FE 1.4

Both of Leica and Sony do not have mirror.

I prefer Leica's small lens to Sony or Canon's big lens.

So I would like to know their differences. Can Leica give the same resolving power at the small size because there is a secret that other brands do not have?
