[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a Leica CL and like it for when I travel light. Most of the Seville pictures on my fotoseville.com site are taken with the CL. It is not an M but it is a nice camera. However, if you want to use lenses longer than 50mm, I would suggest getting one of the Cosina/Voigtlander cameras instead (assuming that you cannot afford an M). The CL has a short rangefinder base which, at least based on my experience, cannot cope with my 90mm lenses. The other issue is the mercury battery--these are no longer sold (legally) but you can buy an adapter which allows you to use regular silver batteries. So that is not a huge issue in practice.
