A wonderful piece of gear but just too heavy, the later version, so I've read , is a lot lighter. The Elmar-C 4/90mm for the CL is nice and light, a good performer but f4 is not exactly fast, I've compared this lens with it's Minolta counterpart for the CLE and there's no recognisable difference(to me). These 2 are apparently not supposed to focus as accurately as pure "M" lenses when attached to a Leica M camera. cheers Douglas John O.
