Well, I'm sure Newton's smartest move was to own a CL. I never said
anything to denigrate the CL, did I? The G1/2 and their ilk are not pro
cameras, in the same class as the M6, and neither is the CL and relatives.
In my opinoion, note. My boss has a CL too and loves it. But they are not
my cup of tea. My hands are rather large, and doesn't like such tiny little
cameras. But then I used to love lugging around my 280 2.8 Apo Telyt! <g>
It was such an awesome piece of glass.
