Oh, you're comparing M cameras. I don't like the Contax G cameras. Just played with the G2. It's an improvement, but it's still too much unneeded buttons and too slow to use. >Most M lenses work fine on the CL and CLE, the main exceptions being > 1) the earlier 21's and 28's with the large rear elements > 2) don't collapse a lens into the CL or CLE body > 3) the 35/50/135's with eyes block portions of the smaller camera RF/VF And the Noctilux, which according to Leica needs a wider rangefinder base. No to mention it's like the tail wagging the dog size-wise. I have a friend and classmate in Journalism school who used the CLE and loved it.
