I spent a lot of time trying to nail down CL production, due to most sources listing the production figure as 65,000 cameras (far exceeding its contemporary M5) followed by the cryptic notation "allotted numbers, production may have been less." After a number of emails to Solms, it was clarified that the rejection rate out of 65,000 cameras was several hundred or less. Stephen
