CV 15mm Superwide + CL

[julescasablancas]

Hi all, i'm thinking of getting a CV 15mm to match with the CL, is there any metering issue with this lens when coupled to the body?

How about this lens with other M bodies like the M6?

Any answers will be much appreciated
Thanks!

exposures are always tricky with a lens that wide.

I used the CV 15mm a few times on my CL before I sold the lens recently and had no real issues with the combination. Like back alley said, correct exposures are often tricky with such wide lenses, but I found the (close to) spot meter on the CL to be helpful in this respect - you can get an idea of the correct exposure for various points across the frame and expose accordingly. You don't mention whether you will be using slide or negative film, but if it is the latter then you shouldn't have any major issues if you take a little care.

Also, a big plus with the CL + CV 15mm combination, is that you don't have to use the relatively dark and cramped CL viewfinder and the short rangefinder baselength of the camera is not an issue.

Thanks people for the reply.
I'll be shooting negatives with this combination, I hope their greater tolerance will help negate the inaccurate metering.
