I'm sure I saw your CL and LTM lens when you last visited….
Cotty, Last time I was there, I had the Leica CL and a lens kit of two R lenses, the Elmarit-R 28mm f/2.8 and Summilux-R 50mm f/1.4. I don't think I had the Pentax-L 43mm Special yet, I'd only recently obtained the CL and had the two R lenses from when I was shooting with the Leica SL. Yes, just checked my records: I ordered the CL in July 2018 and carried that on the trip. I arrived home on October 4. I bought the Pentax-L 43 Special on November 1, 2018, and the last time I visited you was late that summer.
