[Leica] Re: 90 mm lenses and flar and the CL

[Summicron1 at aol.com (Summicron1@aol.com)]

the minolta CLE and CL versions perform similarly?

this is nor surprising because they are one and the same -- made in 
Deutschland by E. Leitz, both of them, the CLE version was just rebranded, 
different 
front ring meant lower price, too -- check the rear cam constrctions.
