I just shot a roll of Delta 100 for the first time in a while on my CL. I really liked the way it came out. I have been a little down on the CL because of the vibration of the shutter and the mediocre viewfinder. I don't like to shoot this camera slower than 1/60th. If only it had an internal leaf shutter, a full size M rangefinder baselength and a new rangefinder patch!! I can have a wish list can't I? Anyway, even though I wish it was a little more like an M6 (maybe my next GAS attack???) This little camera always brings back a nice image. I sometimes forget how good the 40mm Summicron-C and 90mm Elmar-C are. The meter is usually spot on too. These were metered at EI80 and processed in DD-X for 12.5 minutes.

The images with sky were made with an orange filter.

I thought the first one was very well done. I really like the division of the frame between toned featurelessness and the sidelit carving (though perhaps it could be cropped a tad on the right?). Wish I could do better with my CL - in the heat of the moment I keep forgetting what I've set the aperture & shutter speed to. . .
 
Just scored a CL with the 40mm Summicron-C for $500! Looking forward to taking it out over the next couple of days to see what it can do :)
