I like my CL as a carry around camera due to its size and weight. The end hang and different handling of the controls makes it a poor choice to use along with an M body. I much prefer using multiple M bodies when I'm using various lenses on a shoot.

You're probably right, but I took a lot of care to put it together and want to give it a shot as a complete kit.

I currently am using the CL as a backup to my Yashica GSN.
Seriously, I haven't used the CL for a while, and since I'm getting a Canon P, I'll probably put the backup CL in the classifieds one of these days. So, will the P or the CL end up as the backup? Time will tell.

the p is a completely different beast.
very solid, heavier, bigger.
if you like the yashica i bet you'll prefer the p.

Hi,
I started using my CL as backup of my... well... I didn't stop using my CL since then so now I don't really remember which body it was suppose to backup... ;-)
The only limitation is that not all M-lenses can be used... other than that, it's a wonderful camera... as is... not just as backup...

Yes it is. That wasn't really serious. I've had the CL for a few years, and the GSN was just put in service late last year. Now I've added a Canon P, so I'll probably relegate the GSN and the QL17 to life in a camera bag in the car, with the CL and the P being used for serious shooting. Although I have a few more tests I want to run with the GSN before rotating back to the CL.

Rokkor 28 white dots development?
Rokkor 28 white dots development?
I also want to add an 28mm. Considered Rokkor lens before, but dropped the idea as I learnt about the possibility of white dots development inside the lens. I've been considering VC 28mm/2.8. You guys have any idea?

No. They are consistently problematic.

there is no cv 28/1.8, they have a 1.9 and a 3.5.
both are very good lenses.
the 3.5 is tiny and sharp and fits perfectly on the cl/cle.

Oh! I meant VC 28/3.5. Thanks that you pointed it out.
BTW, do you think I need a separated viewfinder for CL, or just use the whole build-in finder for approximation?

i think i used the complete finder area, iirc.

The CL will be my main camera in an upcoming overseas trip due to the need to keep camera gear small in bulk. I will leva emy M3 and M6 behind. The CL allows accurate focusing of a 50mm/1.4 wide open.
