 Today the CL is a superbly compact and quite cheap camera on which to mount M-mount lenses, but it does not have a rangefinder as precise as that of any Leica M body.The rangefinder base of the CL is 31.5 mm and the viewfinder magnification is 0.60, leading to a small effective rangefinder base of 18.9 mm.This is too short for accurate focusing with lenses longer than 90mm and fast lenses used at full aperture.
