The cool thing about the Leica CL, Leitz Minolta CL, the Minolta CLE is that they were mostly designed around the idea of using a dwarfish 40mm lens. And indeed, that 40mm f2 lens is one of the sharpest vintage optics around.
This fact further hammers in that it was an obtuse decision to sell it. These days, those lenses go for a very price tag -- just like everything else. So what's a better option? Consider the Voigtlander 40mm f1. 4 MC -- a lens that's more than a stop of light faster and only slightly larger. Most importantly, though, it won't block the viewfinder when mated to the Leica CL. . thephoblographer.com
