Subject: [Leica] Leica CL questions

Hi:

I am interested in buying a CL as a second body for my M3 (I would like
a body with a meter).  I had a couple of questions for the group:

1. Can I use my (collapsible) 50 mm Summicron f/2 on the CL?  I recall
at one time the advice was to wrap Dynamo label-maker tape around the
lens barrel, so it wouldn't collapse too far into the body.

2.  Other than the name, is a "Leitz-Minolta CL" the same camera as a
Leica CL?

3. Should I consider a Minolta CLE instead?

4.  Any recommended dealers?  Where I live, mail order is the only
choice!

Thanks!
