I did the math on owning a CL and an eventual three-lens setup. I considered the Q, but didn’t want a fixed 28mm. Also, with that Vario lens, it’s kinda heavy, with a bulkiness that approaches the Leica Q. You don’t dial in the aperture on a lens ring, but on an unmarked soft dial on the top plate that displays your settings on a tiny LCD. The sound and feel of its shutter release was very satisfying, but after using it for a few minutes, I didn’t love the way it controlled. It was sleek, well-built, and less than half the price of an M10, with access to a wide selection of M and L-mount lenses. Walking into the Leica store, I made a beeline for the CL display, believing it to be the best fit for the above. Prudential Marina Bay Carnival, Leica D-Lux 7, 24mm.
