Re[2]: Leica CL

[seungmin@luxmail.luxcom.com]

     Hi,
     
      As far as I know, M4-2 is always less than M4-P, say about $200 in 
     the same condition.  My choice, however, would be the M3.  The M3 
     along with the M2 is least expensive and give much better viewfinder.  
     
     Regards,
     David

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.
