Is this possible?
The 40mm CL lens looks like a super-compact all purpose lens!

Can Leica CL lenses be used on M Leicas?

Yes, absolutely.

OK, I wasn't aware of this. The 40mm is extremely interesting.
It has RF coupling, right? But what about the framelines?

Brings up the 50 frame unless the tang on the bayonet has been filed to bring up the 35. Couples just fine.

Some people use the 35 framelines, and file the bayonet mount of the lens to bring up the 35 framelines.

The 90 Elmar-C's a smashing lens too, and is very cheap.

The Minolta M-Rokkor 40/2 is the same lens but even cheaper. And it has a more common filter thread.

I also noticed a 28mm F2.8 Minolta. Will it fit straight on the M leica bajonet? Coupling for VF and RF?
