Note the Leica 40mm f2.0 Summicron gracing the front of the Sony camera. It's a wonderful lens. Wish I still had mine...
ReplyDeleteMore power to you. I've owned two Leica CLs and I consider them to be the most inconvenient cameras I've ever used, with the possible exception of the Exa.
ReplyDeleteYes, and the CLE was SUCH a sweet camera - but the new GX8 with a 20mm 1.7 pancake (40mm f2 Rokkor equ) is close enough to reprise the warm fuzzies of the CLE kit. I think, if you're Medicare age+ , the subconscious worry about switching to Sony is the memories of Betamax...

But...what about the Sony in 2056?
ReplyDeleteDave, Other than the bottom loading I can't imagine what you thought to be inconvenient about the CL. Shutter, Aperture, Rangefinder. That's it. Don't tell me the menus were too complex...
ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget the DNA of the Rollei 35 in the Leica CL. I believe they had a designer in common.
