Subject: [Leica] Focus Limit CL with 35mm summicron????

Hi folks and thanks in advance for letting me trouble you with my question

I am currently using my 35 mm summicron on a CL body (Ideal Tiny travel 
outfit) but I notice that when close focussing, (1 meter or less) the 
rangefinder image stops moving, that is, the focus cam appears to have 
reached the end of its travel at 1 meter and thus I have to guess below 1 
meter. The coupling above this distance is fine and therefore for all 
intents, this lens is not any problem on the CL. I just wonder if its 
because the cl was designed not to focus closer than about 1 meter (ie with 
the 40mm summicron C) or am I just being a sad and boring anal retentive!!

Cheers from an unusually sunny scotland

John
