It would seemingly have nothing to do with the cam and RF; rather, with variances in mount-to-filmplane distance, which I would think Leitz would make to very close tolerances (using shims, etc.). Leitz had no problem with using M lenses on the CL (except the wides that would foul the metercell arm); so if CL lenses won't inf. focus on Ms, then M lenses wouldn't on CLs either, nicht?
