I'm already using a 35/1.4 Summilux-TL ASPH on a Leica SL2, but I'd like a much lighter load around my neck. (As I write this, I'm still recovering from being too stiff to turn my head from side to side or tilt it back without neck and shoulder pain.) I'm considering purchasing a used Leica CL and used Vario-Elmarit-TL 55-135mm f/3.5-4.5.
- Does the CL track just human faces, or will it track animal faces too?
- Does the CL allow you to choose the initial AF point?
- How well does the CL track moving faces at f/4.5 - does it lose focus with a subject moving towards you erratically at 3 MPH? At 15 MPH?
- How long is the battery life (# of shots) using just the EVF (no LCD)?
- I know the camera lacks external ports of any kind. Is there an external power solution using a dummy battery with cable to a USB external battery?
Thanks.
