In 1971, Leica introduced its successor to the M4, the Leica M5. In development since 1966, the M5 represented atour de forceof then current rangefinder technology – it was the first metered M camera and the first 35mm rangefinder to combine interchangeable lenses with a through the lens (...
As for the M4-2 and M4-P, both non-metered all mechanical M’s, purists argue they ‘really’ weren’t legitimate M’s but rather stop-gap cost-cutting throwbacks used by Leitz to buy time while they figured out what to do about the M line post-M5 debacle. At the very least, it...

I have both an M-7 and a M4-P, plus two R bodies. Your review of the CL is going a long way in convincing me to add a CL to the stable. Reply godo garcia August 9, 2020 fantastic review! One question- Leica is offering 2 bundles with the CL, one with the 18 mm and one...
an M. Some aficionados might have their certain preferences, be they for the M4, M6TTL, M7, etc., but all could agree on this common M-ness. Generations of M shooters have felt it and been drawn to it. Eventually, when the world of photography started moving in that direction, they ...
To be exact about it, the CL has a finder magnification of .6 and a 31.5 mm base length rangefinder. This translates to an Effective Base Length of 18.9 mm (.6 x 31.5). This compares to the EBL of 62.1 for the M3 or 49.9 EBL for the M2/ M4/ M5/ M4-2/ M4-P and M6. In ...
