Greetings,

I've never used a CL but I understand it doesn't have viewfinder 
frames for the 50mm or 35mm lenses. A 40mm lens was made for the 
camera and there is a 40mm frame in the viewfinder.

An M2 or an M4-P would be the least expensive body giving you frames 
for 50 and 35 mm lenses.

M4, M4-2 and M6 also would give you those frames but they tend to be 
more expensive.

Any M series body can be repaired by either Leica of numerous shops 
all over the world. That may not be the case with the CL.
