Leica CL Glamour Photos

[JamesFromSydney]

Got this a few months back from KEH for cheap because it has a broken meter. Also picked up the relatively inexpensive m-rokkor 40mm. People seem surprised to find out that you can buy a Leica outfit for way less than a grand.

Shown next to a 50mm Hasselblad lens for scale.

I haven't used my Hassy much since getting the CL!

I've found it after a long watch over the bay.
I've received it with the summicron (and a hood stuck, which I removed at last...).
Now She's in good company!😀

My Leica CL Combination

My Leica CL Combination

My Leica CL is finally complete: I managed to get the camera locally at a very good price. I've had some problems with the light meter, but I think it may be fine now. The camera is encased in a Zhou half-case--which I wasn't sure about before receiving it, but really like it now. I've attached a Domke strap (740-6BK), with rubber woven into the underside of the strap, mounted to one side of the camera as the original designers at Leica intended.

I have a Zeiss 35mm f/2 ZM lens (not shown) and a Zeiss 50mm f/2 ZM lens--which took me many months to buy due to the problems in Japan with production since the earthquake. Both of those lenses use the same B&W 43mm filters and lens hood. On the camera is a Leica 90mm Elmarit-M f/2.8 lens (made in Germany) with a B&W 49mm filter. It was quite an adventure buying that lens at an excellent price.

The final touch is a Voigtlander viewfinder on top for the 90mm lens. I think it adds extra coolness to the look. I just bought that from Camera Quest. I ordered it on a Saturday morning, and Stephen Gandy shipped it that day from California and it arrived at my apartment in Milan a few days later.

Altogether I think it's a slick looking set up

Here's a shot of my Leitz Minolta CL fitted with a Canon Serenar 50mm f1.8, Ilford Hood and a Gordy Strap.

This is my second CL. Sold the 1st one and instantly regretted it. Perfect companion to my M8 and beginning to takeover as my main shooter.

This came in the mail today (thanks Isaac) Love at first sight

 

[lxmike]

Pretty bad. Did you have it shipped international surface mail? That's what they typically look like after arriving.

That is unfortunately oh so true brian

Landberg, nice setup! 🙂

Is your Jupiter focussing correctly?

 

[Landberg]
