(New lister). Quick background -- Looking for a small interchangeable lens camera to complement my 35mm Contax slr and Mamiya 7 gear. I am interested in the 15mm Heliar, 35mm f2 ASPH to start, then a 24mm and a 75 or 90mm. Several basic questions: Frame lines? Will meter work with the Heliar? CL vs CLE -- In practice, how much 'better' is the CLE (meter, etc)? Why not an M6? -- Trying keep it as small as possible, and prefer shooting in AE mode. How about a new Leica rangefinder with a few more features, something similar to the CLE -- this might compete nicely with the G2 -- and from the Contax list -- G owners are suggesting a manual wind G series camera. Sounds like a combination of G and M6 features would make a nice camera. Sorry if I am suggesting blasphemy to the purists -- Obviously new to the list - -- (I promise pick up some single malt next bike trip to the liquor store -- if that helps). K.
