M6 for $1995 USD CL2 for $1895 USD Think about the manufacturing economics of a CL-2. Just because it is smaller does not mean it cost less to manufacture. I think they might save a little in the rangefinder by using a simpler one like the old CL. Maybe they can save a few bucks in the shutter. But to have Leica quality it is going to cost. What about TTL flash and all those goodies, think the manufacturing cost will be less than the flash on the M6? Leica's dilema is if they build it will you pay the price? or skip it for the M6. I think they have studied the price point on this, whether and how they build a CL2 is up to them. IMO of course. Dennis TEAShea@aol.com wrote: > > The idea of a Leica CL is appealing.
