That, with the new 40/1.4 Nokton would be very nice. But what would be nicest is a digital R2A or R3A.

Just not the best ones - OK you can also do manual metering with an M7. Difficult with a CLE, but probably my only niggle. I still find the CLE to be way ahead of any Leica developed since, they should have stuck at it - a CLE-2 (various metering modes), CLE-3 (R9 Electronics) and of course we would have had a CLE-D years ago.
