I have been looking at posts on the forum almost every day since I joined it a few weeks ago and now seem to have run out of new posts to read in the collectors area. So I will start this one. I am trying not to be a collector but just a “user” and in the past ten years since I got back into Leicas I have bought a range of other lenses (and sold some). My local dealer is an expert on Leicas and has something new to look at almost every week. This is a picture of a CL that I bought in an auction lot, which cost me nothing as I got my money back by selling the other items that came with it. But it works a bit like a Leica Standard, the rangefinder has lost its slivering an is not really usable, and the meter only works when it feels like it, but the shutter is good. The Summar is a nickel version and a bit rough inside, but works ok with Rollei Infrared film for extra contrast. The 35mm f2.8 Schneider Xenogon is a nice lens, a bit like a screw Summaron but a 2.8 lens. The black & nickel Contax Tessar is on a Cook & Perkins Contax/Leica screw adaptor, not an expensive focusing one but lens lens is held at infinity focus which is ok for general use, it then has a screw to M adaptor as well. Does anyone else like playing around with a mixture of lenses?
