[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I love my CLE. Compared to my M2/3/4s it has a great meter. If I want, I can slip the Voigtlander meter into the shoe or use a hand-held as I often do for the other meterless Ms. Where it shines is in point-and-shoot grab shots, and I have never had an unusable exposure on neg film with it. Mind you, after years of shooting news, I have a sixth sense about meter-fooling lighting and will compensate with the very-handy compensation dial around the shutter release. And let's all remember that the 90/2.8 lenses work fine for most use - just not at f2.8 and/or up close. No - it's not an M-Leica, and neither is a CL. And you can't tell by looking at the resulting pictures. <I strongly advise against a CLE. The meter is a total averaging meter with no meter lock.> Steve Patriquen London __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
