the cl crapped out today...

[Gabriel M.A.]

Well..it's a CL...it's sort of a Leica 😉

I wonder if Joe will "demand satisfaction" 😉

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

october is coming...yes, my birthday...and the first anniversary of my heart attack!!

maybe i should act sooner than later😉

Oh, man, how time flies. And yet, to me it feels like such a while ago. No GAS lusting for you. Otherwise we're gonna have to put you on a strict Argus diet.

ignorance is everywhere...on p.net someone asked about a cl vs a m6 and one of the answers was that a cl was not a leica m...
then what is it? a leica q or t or k...

i know rich is not ignorant but the attitute regarding cl's or the m5 and now the zi is too much some times.
i like leicas and have no beef with them or the people who use them generally.

We know Rich was joking. Yes, it's hard to swim amid the hardcore "it's A or B" populi. No shades, no nuances. It's all bumpersticker arguments without any depth.

So, have you driven an M lately? 😉

bumpersticker arguments..i like that phrase.

 

[FrankS]

Joe, I don't think you can argue that the Leica CL was not built to a lower price point than the then current standard M bodies. Therefore "not quite a Leica" is defendable, I think.

Preference for mechanical cameras is a personal opinion, which is some thing we respect around here.

The M5 quip I"m sure was tongue in cheek.

Peace and Love

not quite a leica...i wonder what leitz would say?

'yes, we made this camera, it's kinda like a leica m but not really...?'

Well, we didn´t actually make it, it´s a Minolta?

mine says 'leica cl' right there on the front for all the world to see.

Mine says made in japan, just like my AF-C1

M5's are the best ever.. CL are cool because they are like a little M5...
everybody else has meter envy..

Nothing wrong with being a Minolta, one of the most prized camera bodies there is - the Minolta CLE.. is a minolta.

i just had this crazy idea...i think i got it from someone here...😉

Oops, sorry!!! 😀 😀 😀

I'm not a big fan

of the stalk off the film plane photocell designs in the CL or M5, but when they are working, they work fine, pretty much. Better than no meter if you need a meter.
