When I need to travel very light, I've found my Leica CL to be an excellent backup. It's very light, and if you keep the 40mm Rokkor-M or Summicron-M mounted, makes a great snapshot camera. If you look around, you can find good deals on them. I bought mine with the Rokkor for $350 at a local camera show. A $175 CLA brought it up to spec and it has been working perfectly. Actually, the CL is one of my very favorite Leicas of all time. Love having the shutter speeds visible in the VF! ;-) - -----Original Message----- From: Joel House [mailto:joelhouse@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 1999 6:53 AM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Subject: [Leica] Backup camera or more Leica glass? What would you prefer to have? A backup Leica camera or more Leica lenses? I have an M6 and an M4-P. I could use a couple of lenses, but I can't really afford to buy any unless I sell the M4-p. During my professional days I would have never considered shooting without a backup body. What would you do? What minimal system lenses would you consider? I mainly do journalistic style pictures of family and some travel. http://home.earthlink.net/~joelhouse/ _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
