fotografr Posted June 19, 2019 Share #1 Â Posted June 19, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) What are Leica thinking these days? First they come out with the butt ugly Lenny Kravitz M Monochrom. Then they come out with the even more hideous CL by Jean Pigozzi. I think they are taking design advice from the Trumps. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a unit with a decent design would likely sell ten times as many, resulting in an even better cash flow. IMHO, any collector who buys one of these as an investment would do far better in the stock market. Edited June 19, 2019 by fotografr 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new CL design is absolutely awful! If they asked me, I could came with mush more attractive ideas!.... But.....  1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted June 19, 2019 Share #7  Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Matter of tastes. I don't dislike the Pigozzi personally even if i prefer the regular model. Now limited and special editions are a Leica tradition since the thirties. Nothing new under the sun . Welcome, dear visitor!

They should padlock the doors and mine the entrances and exits to the marketing department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
