I own two of them, one with the 40 Summicron which I shoot b&w Ilford XP-2 and the other with 90 Elmar that I keep Fuji NPS 160 in. I imagine if Buzz bangs his other cameras around as he did his CL, he probably has expensive repairs to them as well. The electronics of these cameras doesn't matter much to me cause I don't use a light meter or a least not very often. Since 99% of my photography is taken out of doors, I know what to set the camera at to get a good negative. That comes with experience. Neither of the light meters work in my CL's and that's OK. They are great cameras and I get a lot of inquires when people see me with 2 of them around my neck. If you want to see examples, go to my web-site at www.me-photography.com With the exception of the desert shots and the Howard-Boss Motorsports section, all of the rest were taken with the CL. The choice of course is yours and with all cameras it should be a personal decision. Don't buy anything that you truly won't be happy with. Bruce Morton
