Supposedly it was plagued by things like erratic rangefinder allignment, and the flipping meter flag getting loose. I've also heard that the CLE was much improved (no flapping flag, for one). Still, the CLs aren't exactly cheap when you look for a used one. If it says "Leica," read "$$$" (inter alia). Some of the fixed-lens rangefinders were offered with accessory lenses which screwed into the filter thread. These sacrifice quality for expediency. Dave
