 Hi Dan,
  I use my own 21 mm Aspherical and it is OK. I assume the 24 will work just
 fine.
  The 35 Summicron works OK but I don't use it because the 40mm that is on the
 camera is such a fine lens and is very close to the 35 in focal length.
  I don't know about the new 90 but I use the 90 Tele-Elmarit without problem
 and suspect the new one would be just fine.
  I have only played with Tom A's 15mm and that was a long time ago. (before
 they were available in this country) If I remember correctly, it will work
 just fine. You might want to drop Tom a line and see what he thinks about
 it.

Dan, the Heliar 15/4,5 works fine on the CL and CLE. The rear element does 
not protrude very far into the body at all. The meter arm is well clear of 
the back of the lens. The only problem seems to be that most CL/CLE's have a 
hot-shoe that tends to hold the Heliar finder a bit loose, thus improving the 
chances of loosing the finder. A bit of tape at the bottom of the finder or 
hot-shoe will cure that.
All the best,
Tom A
