cle porn!

My thought was that I'd seen a photo of a similarly clad Minolta SLR at The Rokkor Files (http://www.rokkorfiles.com/XD11.html) but when I checked it out it was a CameraLeather (http://www.cameraleather.com/) "lizard skin" recover.

What about this for comparison?

 

[Rogrund]

Thanks for the photos, Scrambler. Looks very similar to my CLE except for the anniversary logo. I wonder if it could have fallen off.

 

[Ruhayat]

I had both the CL and CLE at one point. Sold off the Minolta, decided to keep the Leitz as my M4-P replacement.

What a CLE with 35mm Lux ASPH looks like. Only shot one roll with it but it turned out quite well. Like the compactness and balance in the hand, too.

Does the Jupiter 12, 35mm 2.8 with adapter fit CLE?

Thanks in advance

as said in many threads: yes, no problem with Jupiter-12 on the CLE.
I use J-12 from the 50s and 80s and works great.
BUT you need to compensate the metering because the rear element shades the metering cell.
Just do a search, you will find my post suggesting compensation for three distance ranges.

It is only problematic on CL and M5 because of the meter arm.

Thank you for a fast reply, Fer. Nice combo with the 1955 Jupiter-8.
Does the metering work?
Thanks in advance

 

[fer_fdi]

the metering? of course, why shouldn't it work?

There are threads involving CLE, J-12 and J-8)

I ask because it looks like the J12 have some problems with shading the meter at the bottom. Is the back end of the J8 the same? I ask you here in the CLE PORN, because you just pop up with a nice image of your wonderful CLE with a J8.

 

[fer_fdi]

just search for J-8 images, there is no portruding element in it

This thread could need some new images... So here is my CLE setup





Nothing really special, I just use the CLE with the 40mm & 90mm lenses (both Leitz versions) designed for it most of the time. I also have an older 28mm Elmarit, which works also great with the framelines, but it's a bit bigger and obstructs the view quite a bit.

Anyway, the CLE is the analog camera that I use the most (by far!) and it has also proved to be very reliable. I really hope it lasts and I can enjoy shooting with it for a long time!

Cle & M6

Cle & M6

Whether it ends up serving in a complimentary role to the M6, or as the M6's successor, I'm finding the CLE to be a very nice camera just the same.

To all of you Nokton guys, what frames do you see when using it?

To all of you Nokton guys, what frames do you see when using it?

On the CLE the 40mm Nokton brings up the 40mm framelines (along with the 28 too), so it's convenient. On an M body it shows 35mm frames.
