Most of the pictures on my Seville site are shot with it. The rangefinder base is short, so trying to focus a 90mm lens accurately is a bit hit or miss. But with the 40mm lens it works fine. The CL is the Leica model. After Leica discontinued it, Minolta carried on and made the CLE. It has more automation (an aperture-priority mode) and as far as I remember it has some quirky feature, like the meter not working in manual mode or something like that. I would get the CL over the CLE.
