Bill Caldwell,

Have used the new 35/1.4 ASPH on the M5.  As it's a bigger lens, it's well
suited to the M5's size.  No meter clearance problems at all.  
Haven't tried this lens on the CL.  The only problem I can think of here would
be focussing accuracy of CL with a lens at 1.4 isn't all it should be because
shorter effective base length of rangefinder, different slope of focussing
cams, etc.
