If I crane my eyes to the extremes it is slightly wider. This means an auxiliary finder isn't necessary. It would thus seem that the CLE is an excellent body to use with the new 24 mm APO. So I ordered one from Pat McKee (very helpful LUGger!). The CLE will end up being my wide angle body for the 15 mm Heliar (which is quite nice; less contrasty than a Leitz lens, but an excellent value) and the 24 mm. I've never used a CL so I don't know if the angle of view is the same, if it is this should make the CLs and CLEs more valuable. R.
