I assume you ar talking about the CLE and not the CL. I love my
Leitz-Minolta CL. It is just the right size and takes pictures that
are the equal of my M6. I just wish you could still buy real PX625
batteries for it and that the metering system had no moving parts: use
LEDs instead of mechanical match needle and don't use a swinging meter
arm.
I feel more comfortable using and carrying the CL than the M6.
I just picked up four more PX625 cells while in France, so I should be
set for a few years, battery wise.
