WTB - Lens for my Leica CL

[kevinparis]

hi

got a leica CL.. but no lens for it i can call my own.

Looking for standard or mild wide lens. In order of preference

summicron c 40mm
CV Nokton 40
summarit 35

dont have silly collector bucks to spend on this... just looking for a beater street photo type lens.

would even consider funky LTM lens

let me know

cheers

Well the CL heads LOVE the 40 summicron
& rave about its sharpness /feel its the PURRfect lens for that body

the cv nokton has two opposing sides / those that absolutely ADORE it
& those that abhor the bokeh

the summarit 35 is a JEWEL & very under rated

Are we allowed to go into Madame's Stash
cause I would take her 35 pre asph lux (I adore mine)

otherwise a 35 Biogon is Dynamite /if you LOVE contrast for B&W its heaven
and Zeiss w/color is magic

Best-H

I have a 90mm f4 Elmar C lens for $250 in exc+ condition. It's designed for Leica CL. The 40mm and the 90mm are all you need for CL.

I have a 40-C with shade, and an adapter for 39mm filters if you are interested.
