I own a CL, and I owned another before.  I sold it to Nathan, who used it a
few years and sold it to Daniel Ridings, who may still have it.

I played with an X1 recently, and I could not see an advantage over the Oly
EP1 that takes many, many lenses.

I shoot about half of my work with an M8, 30 percent with the Oly, and the
rest with the CL or my "new" M6.
