I liked the Rollei more than the CL. Not for ergonomics part, but  
such much more character.
The CL felt a bit flimsy to me, but the Rollei: like welded out of  
solid stainless steel. And a stubborn kind of quirkyness.
Compared to an M, no match at all though.
I made one of my alltime favorite shots with it. But to many missed  
ones next to it. As I already said, I never got used to guesstimating  
the distance.
