Re: So So Little
Electrical components and age, outdated technologies and parts unavailable. Oh the ebb and flow of shooting old cameras. I dread the thought of loosing some of my favorite shooting gear to this, especially my Mamiya 6. But, give me a pinhole camera and some film, I’ll survive! :ROTFL:

Thanks Godfrey for sharing your knowledge.That's a nice kit, Darr. I have one of those 90mm lenses too, it's an old favorite of mine. Early examples of the 90mm were produced in Wetzlar and are identical to the Elmar-C 90mm other than the bezel and filter size. I used to have the Leica CL (actually had three of them over the years) and I've had both the Leica and Minolta versions of the 40mm. Both are very good lenses.
The CL was my favorite M-mount film camera for years. When I sold off a bunch of gear a couple of years back, it was a tussle to decide between my last CL and the M4-2, but I decided the latter was more serviceable and had the better viewfinder/rangefinder; kept it instead. But it was a close call.
I always like the CLE as well, just worried about its electronics. I suppose if you found a good one, it'll last a long time at this point.
Fun stuff, it drives me down memory lane... Enjoy the kit!
