While I love my M5, the CL never did much for me..., and we know these cameras both "bombed" some thirty years ago. Leica is STILL scratching their heads about the failure of the M5. Maybe "101" doesn't apply in the land of Leica usage and ergonomics? Just maybe Leica knows its audience better than the LUG does?
