earleygallery Posted November 23, 2017 Share #21 Posted November 23, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm so excited at the news of this new camera. For many years I was using a Leica/Minolta CL and I loved the small format of the camera. However, before I can even think of buying one, I have to ask the following questions: – What bag should I get for my new Leica CL? - Bag for life, 10p at your nearest supermarket What case should I get my new Leica CL? - no need if you get a bag for life, see above What strap should I get my new Leica CL? - boot lace, various colours available, cheap and effective. Double knot for extra security. Usually come in packs of 2. And also, I shall soon be going on holiday to Bourton on the Water, do think I should take it with me? - No, in case you drop it in the water. Buy an X-U for that.

lanetomlane Posted November 23, 2017 Share #22 Posted November 23, 2017 No probs. Hang in there it will be forthcoming. In my experience the Cotswolds are survivable without a Thumbs up - just. It really depends on whether you're hitch-hiking. If so, you'll definitely need a thumbs-up. Cheers, Tom 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanetomlane Posted November 23, 2017 Share #23 Posted November 23, 2017 I ordered one about 20 mins ago, first in the queue - what should I wear when I pick it up from the shop??? Is that a bag, or a camera? Cheers, Tom 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcg Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share #24 Posted November 23, 2017 All of this advice is extremely helpful – but I wonder now whether I shouldn't wait until the release of the special titanium edition. What does anybody think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted November 23, 2017 Share #25 Posted November 23, 2017 If you buy this stuff now, how do you know it will fit the CL2? Better wait for a few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcg Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share #26 Posted November 23, 2017 Blimey, you're dead right. This is getting complicated. When do you think that the monochrom edition will come out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When do you think that the monochrom edition will come out? CL monochrome? Indefinitely forward in time, I would think.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IkarusJohn Posted November 23, 2017 Share #28 Posted November 23, 2017 The CL2 will have IBIS, the EVF from the SL, full frame sensor, will be thinner than the CL, AND will have a phone built in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted November 23, 2017 Share #29 Posted November 23, 2017 The CL2 will have IBIS, the EVF from the SL, full frame sensor, will be thinner than the CL, AND will have a phone built in! .... and you really will be able to put in your pocket ....... with almost any lens attached ..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted November 23, 2017 Share #30 Posted November 23, 2017 The CL2 will have IBIS, the EVF from the SL, full frame sensor, will be thinner than the CL, AND will have a phone built in! I have been told by informed sources that, indeed, Leica is already considering a CL2 that besides your suggestions, it will also open your garage door and change channels on your TV. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The built-in Tardis will come in handy for fitting all that in your pocket. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.noctilux Posted November 23, 2017 Share #33 Posted November 23, 2017 Is it silly enough if I wait for CL-D, the one without LCD screen like M-D ? After that, a tempting must have is the same thing in monochrom "limited platina" CL-monochrom for the x anniversary of Dr. Mandler . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcg Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share #34 Posted November 24, 2017 No. That's not silly at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikasmg Posted November 24, 2017 Share #35 Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) .... And also, I shall soon be going on holiday to Bourton on the Water, do think I should take it with me? The first thing that strikes me about your post is to say _don’t_ go to Bourton on the Water. Or at least I wouldn’t plan to spend a lot of time there. It struck me a place that has become a victim of its own beauty. It’s so full of gawking tourists and touristy shops that a lot of places in the Cotswolds well worth your photographic attention. - Vikas Edited November 24, 2017 by vikasmg 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stay away from the water in case the CL without thumb slips in. - Vikas 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Lake District you will need the Beatrix Potter edition CL, which comes with a Jemima Puddle-Duck waterproof housing. William Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
