Leica CL as an All Round Camera?

[rich815]

One thing I would mention about the CL is up-close focusing with fast lenses is often an issue due to the shorter rangefinder base length. i.e. I cannot use my Summarit with it wide open or even f/2 for shots closer than say 12 feet or so, and even my 50/2 Summicron-DR has out of whack focus issues very close up wide open. Just FYI.

Very interesting piece of blog (as is the case with your musings about the EF primes)

Rich815 : my intent if I give this a go is to use only the 40mm, so this should not create too big an issue.


Thanks for this !

I enjoyed the article, now I'm head over heals again over the CL, it is a lovely camera.

Nice article. Only one small mistake: it is not Summicron-C 4/90 - it is Elmar
