Finished the roll, pushed in the rewind release button, and cranked away with the bottom-mounted crank. When I felt no tension I decided that I somehow hadn't engaged the film at the start of the roll. Opened the camera and there was the bare-naked roll, all outside of the canister, and now exposed to daylight. Then it hit me: on the CL you turn the rewind crank COUNTER-clockwise when you rewind. I was turning it clockwise (like on ALL my other cameras.) My only consolation is that I only got the CL recently and haven't used it a lot. Fortunately all I lost was some unimportant party shots. On a Nikon digital camera I once removed the memory card with the camera turned on. Lost all the images.
