But but but … the sky is falling, Mr Little … my TL2 hasn’t had a firmware update, and there isn’t an TL3 or CL2 coming … no one else is buying these APS-C cameras …. they’re being discounted everywhere … there’s lots of stock … oh, what am I going to do?

Umm, take pictures? I don't think Fuji is discontinuing cameras except old models,with similar sensors to the CL, new ones look promising. And I will soon be able to get the same Sigma lenses for mine as you het in L mount.... Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edstock Posted June 18, 2022 Share #186 Posted June 18, 2022 Well nice to know. I guess my warranty for my CL is up in around 2024-25. This definitely stops my interest in purchasing a 35 f1.4 L mount. All in all it doesn't bother me much, as I have only a passing interest in digital. $11,000.00 for an M11? Nuts. I'll stick with my film M's and R's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted June 19, 2022 Share #187 Posted June 19, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) There is nothing about the lenses... As they fit all L mount cameras I suspect that they will continue to be serviced - and a warrantee is normally for two years anyway, so it won't be affected.

Gregm61 Posted June 22, 2022 Share #190 Posted June 22, 2022 I’m on the lookout and will eventually buy a second CL, old new stock or well kept used. Too nice a camera to not continue using, especially considering all the native glass I already own and will never sell. Possibly even a nice second-hand SL2 to use both these TL and my M glass. Nice/endless mix and match options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted June 22, 2022 Share #193 Posted June 22, 2022 It is a balance between use and insurance against reducing repair options. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSH-Photo Posted June 24, 2022 Share #194 Posted June 24, 2022 Leica still lists the CL on its website. The Adorama still lists new CLs for sale; it says they are "temporarily on back order." Is Leica still manufacturing the CL? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marac Posted June 28, 2022 Share #195 Posted June 28, 2022 I already own too many discontinued cameras so what's one more old banger in the bag ... Hahaha I took the CL out yesterday, still works as it did when it was new. Honestly, I hope they don't make a CL2 because the CL was designed to be exactly what it is & personally, I love it for what it is and will have mine until it or I fail. I will always have an M9M. To me, Leica is all about the M & it's simplicity, which is why the original M8 and later M9's are by far my favourite digital for pleasure. My workhorse is a Nikon 7500 and thus far has served me very well for the little work I do these days. I always say "do the things that make you happy" if you are not happy with anything in life, change it ..... But keep smiling. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed and a radical departure from Leica's standard 10 years + ! That will not do the reputation of the company any good. It was part of the premium we paid for Leica. 😡😡. They should fire the person(s) who thought this up and start behaving like the brand they used to be. No new Leicas for me.😡 I can accept the reasoning behind the discontinuation, but cutting down on support is beyond the pale. I cannot imagine anybody buying one of the remaining CLs/TL2s with this in the background. Who is going to buy a camera at this price that may turn into a brick within six years? One may hope that this will not become the new "Leica standard" for all models. The competition will be popping bottles of champagne.🍾🍾 Get my M6 repaired 20? Years after the purchase.......

Mark Brickley Posted June 29, 2022 Share #199 Posted June 29, 2022 You know I just bought my new CL after finding out it was discouninued, I figure I’m 57 now and let’s say I get unlucky and it fails just after the repair ceases then I get say 7 years from it. Let’s assume I live (and am well enough to use a camera) for another 30 years if I’m lucky then this will see me through a third of the rest of my photographic life. That’s good enough for me!
