I had the Leica CL for a couple of years. Lovely little camera, too bad Leica nearly lost the farm selling it. I used it with Summicron-C 40/2 and Heliar 15/4.5 ASPH lenses. It's a near perfect-size camera for me... that kit fit beautifully into a small bag (then the 10-20 rolls of film filled it up...). My understanding is that Leica deemed the rangefinder insufficiently accurate for anything longer or faster than a 90mm f/4 lens due to the short baseline and viewfinder magnification. Be interesting to see what you get with the 135mm, if you use it. G -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
