This particular member of the press corps prefers a CL! Though, to be fair, I'm not a press photographer but a magazine editor; however I use a camera at trade shows and the like, and the CL is light enough and small enough to stuff into a pocket or briefcase. I've used an M and a Leicaflex for work, but wouldn't dream of carrying them all day and every day. In the late 1970s, I almost lost my M2 on a working trip, and vowed never in future to risk using a classic camera for work. I switched to a tiny 35mm Rollei, which seemed absurdly small whenever I was working alongside professional photographers and their "heavy metal". Regards, Doug Richardson
