On the 35 Summicron, the rear element seems awfully closed to the brim and very close the the meter cell arm. Is the distance between the arm and rear element sufficiently safe? >> According to all the books, the only lenses you *can not* mount on the CL, because they will crunch the meter stalk, are the collapsible lenses (ok as long as you *never* collapse them) and early 21 Super-Angulons and 28 Elmarits (the later ones past certain serial #'s were factory modified to trigger the meter stalk to swing away when they're mounted...at least that's what they do on the M5). Like I said, I've only used the CL a few times, never owned one. Don't take my word for gospel, check with a repair tech or Leica to me sure. DT
