Anyone tried this? Sounds like a good pair.
BTW, can anyone tell me the main differences between a Leica CM and a Leica Minilux (not zoom)?

Hi I have a CL with a CV 40 f1.2 SC the size is perfect. I have large hands I like the combo. I can also use it on my M4-P & my M6. The lens is one of the best values out there. The results are super with B&W.

I had a CL that I paired with my CV 40/1.4. It was a really nice, compact combo. Wide open shooting was a bit of a gamble, but manageable at f/2

I have a CL and a CV40f1.4 lens. Nice combo. Agree about the great price/performance ratio of this lens.
I have a Minilux too. Apparently it has the same Summarit 40f2.4 lens but the CM lens has newer/better multicoating. The CM body is smaller and less boxy than the Minilux. My biggest issue with he Minilux is the auto on flash default setting that cannot be altered as it can on the Contax Tvs. To turn off the flash, it takes 5 or so consecutive presses of the flash mode button. It would be great if "flash off" was the second option instead of the 5th.
The Minilux also suffers from shutter failure, indicated by an error code on the lcd. The CM shutter reliability apparently has been improved upon.

I had a CL which I used with the CV 40/1.4 (bought from you). Worked great, looked a bit cumbersome - big hood, small camera.
