couldn't you just buy a panasonic lx3k and save the rest of the money to save up for a lens on ur cl?
just my thoughts

i once bought a m8 last year for around 1570 dollars..
while getting shipped here I started having mixed thoughts , the filter needs and the shutter re-cock sound , so I sold it for 1950 dollars the next day..

i've had the d-lux 4 for a year... i like it...
might get a russian 28/2.8 for the cl --- saw them cheap on the bay
most of the time i'm carrying my nikon gear and my digilux 2 and r kit --- it's nice to be able to try different things....

ok, my 15mm is on the way -- found it on craigslist, ATL -- Dave Lackey is picking it up locally for me...
any tips and pointers for the 15mm / leica cl combo?
know about keeping fingers outta the way, know about level horizions...
just not sure what to shoot now

Well, I reckon I will try some indoor/architectural shots with it before shipping it to ya!
But I won't keep it long. Just long enough to visit Marietta, Ga. and document The General from the Civil War's Great Locomotive Chase. The 15mm focal length should be really good for that using 400 and 3200 film. Will shoot two rolls, one on the M3 and the other on the IIIF.

Beware the Russian 28mm f2.8, I believe it is a half frame lens and will not work on a full frame 35mm. Joe

Hi,
The Orion-15 is the ex-USSR 28mm lens to go for although some are frightened as it only opens to f/6 at widest. However, a search will reveal a lot of pictures taken with it to change your mind...

dave was a tad delayed sending the 15 to me --- understandable with the crisis in his life... should be here mid week.... any tips for shooting with 15 ????
was thinking of doing some low angle shots, a few walkarounds with the city and a little landscape
