Walt Calahan Posted December 20, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 20, 2009 I love my two Minolta CLE's. Do they count? Grin. 28 mm, 40 mm & 90 mm, and two original flash units. Mine are not in such mint condition, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

underground Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share #7 Posted April 19, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) For those of us that love our CL's: A T-Shirt Nice find! I will be using my CL for a while since my M7 just went in for a jammed up advance lever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bateleur Posted April 28, 2010 Share #8 Posted April 28, 2010 The CL was my introduction to the world of Leica . Usurped eventually by 'the M' but remains a faithful companion especially when size and weight matters and being the tool, paired with its 40mm summicron, which has produced most of my 16x20" prints will remain so for as long as film lasts.

sandro Posted April 28, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 28, 2018 Today I received a Leica CL with Summicron-C 2/40mm from a generous relative who didn't use it anymore. So I began to look for threads and posts about the analog CL and found this one, that seems toi have died exactly eight years ago. Are there so few people using the CL? or does it not have much fans anymore? I just put a film in it and I hope to use it very soon, to get the feeling of the handling of this nice camera.

TomB_tx Posted April 28, 2018 Share #10 Posted April 28, 2018 I still use my CL at times - just have a number of favorite cameras, so they all take their turn. I bought mine in the late 1970s as a companion to my M4, and have used it for a travel camera when on cycling trips. It gave lovely results with the 40 Summicron. Eventually the meter got “off” and the needle would stick, but a few years ago had it serviced and now it works well. I also picked up the 90 Elmar C for a two-lens travel kit, and that lens is amazing, even on my M10. Thanks for the reminder - time to get it out and do some hiking in wildflower season!

Pyrogallol Posted April 29, 2018 Share #11 Posted April 29, 2018 My CL thinks it is an M bayonet Leica “Standard”. The rangefinder has lost its slivering and the meter only works when it feels like it. But as the camera body cost me nothing I will not spend money on having it serviced as the shutter is working OK. The lenses shown are a 35mm Schneider Xenogon, 50mm Contax Tessar and 50mm Summar, just put together to make a picture. Welcome, dear visitor!

sandro Posted June 5, 2018 Share #12 Posted June 5, 2018 This one came to me recently. It is a beauty and it is great to work with, although I still have to get used to the difference in focusing as compared to other M Leica's. Lex Welcome, dear visitor!

jmahto Posted June 8, 2018 Share #14 Posted June 8, 2018 Moderators, this thread should be pinned as well like other “I love XXX” threads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted January 5, 2022 Share #15 Posted January 5, 2022 Since I still like my CL a lot, I was looking at this thread again. Can one of the moderators pin it? Lex Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandro Posted January 5, 2022 Share #16 Posted January 5, 2022 As far as I know the Leitz Minolta CL was the same camera as the Leitz CL. Differences appeared in the Minolta CLE, based on the CL but representing a further development. The viewfinder showed lines for 28mm lenses now and the metering was different. I think.

andym91 Posted January 5, 2022 Share #17 Posted January 5, 2022 Great camera, obviously the images are indistinguishable from those of any M camera… same lenses etc. but it’s handling is at least as good if not better! a true gem 🌹 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
