[Leica] Leitz-Minolta CL

[Rolf Hanson <rolf@cortex.med.cornell.edu>]

Hello,

I have the opportunity to purchase a Leitz-Minolta CL with
40/2 Rokkor lens for $700. Both are in excellent condition.
I am not a Leica user (yet) but have been looking for a camera for 
street photography and available light photography in jazz clubs. 
A Leica M series seems to be the obvious choice for this sort of work, but
I am a student and cannot afford a new M6 body + lens. The used
prices I have seen for this equipment are also out of my price
range. Would the CL be an acceptable alternative from a user (not collector)
point of view, or should I wait until I can afford a M6? 

The focal lengths I would be interested in using
are 28, 35 (the 40 would do), and 90. From what I have read, it
seems as though the camera would have no problems with a 90/4, but
I am wondering if there are any problems using a 28/2.8. 

I have read a favorable review of the camera on
http://www.cameraquest.com/leicacl.htm, but no one else I know
seems to have any more information on this camera. 

Any opinions would be appreciated.
