andym911 Posted March 25, 2008 Share #1 Posted March 25, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Have been shooting with M's for sometime and recently bought a used CL as a take everywhere camera.Had it overhauled,cleaned, lubricated and meter calibrated. After a week using only this I must say what great camera it is. Small, light, superb metering and ergonomics (shutter speed wheel) and a very, very good lens. As a back up or if it needs to be light and compact, a great combo. I am sure there are lots of them around being hardly or not used at all..if you see one up for sale I can only suggest grab it with both hands... regards Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Hi andym911, Take a look here Leica CL & 40 cron. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
-kk- Posted March 25, 2008 Share #2 Posted March 25, 2008 I too like the CL's shutter speed wheel, its so intuitive. The 40 'cron is a great lens, and a bargain to boot! It now lives on my MP btw, cute pic/kid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
storybrown Posted March 26, 2008 Share #3 Posted March 26, 2008 I'm sure it's been said many times, many ways, &c, but the CL is in its way -- with its 40 cron & 90 elmar -- quite as much a classic as most other Leica M mounts, and it just grows on you the more you use it. Little wonder it eroded sales of the more expensive M edition of its day. I have an interesting (almost weird looking) chrome 135 Hektor I sometimes use on mine, esp with a table tripod, just for the unique look & feel of it; the fotos are fine, too, in spite of the supposed focus problemata. I don't need another CL, certainly (I don't need most of what I have, as far as that goes), but it would doubtless be hard to pass up a good deal on one, anyway, or even a pretty good or a nearly pretty good deal . . .

roguewave Posted March 26, 2008 Share #4 Posted March 26, 2008 Andy, your image is the best argument for the CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
