My comment, Nathan, had to do with that silly comment, not the CL. The
CL is certainly "flawed," but I, too, was happy with my CLs when I owned
them. Now that I use lenses beyond the 35-50-90 combination, I would
find the CL limiting. But again, if it works for you, or anyone else,
that's really all that matters. :-)

BD,

This discussion just shows that we all have different tastes. I am
extremely pleased with the CL and the 40mm and 90mm lenses I have for
it. No, it is will not replace my M outfit, but it does supplement it
nicely, and I do not feel that I have to compromise the way I take
pictures in order to use it. I did feel that way when I owned a IIIf,
which is why I got rid of it after a few months.
