Leica CL Rangefinder Film Camera Review (Minolta CL & Leitz Minolta CL) | Leica M5's little brother?

What do you think about the Leica CL? 😃

Minolta x Leica!! Just got an SR-7, SR-T 101, SR 101 and an SR-1s for 100 bucks straight from Japan and they are all in mint condition. From your experience, which one is the best camera of the bunch? Excellent and very informative video as always!

I loved my srt101 :) i havent played with the others yet xp that was a great find if all works perfectly! 😃

@@grainificent Just bought some rolls of Ilford to try them out but from what I can tell, they most probably do work! Been looking for an SR-T 101 ever since I first got into film photography and I am so thrilled to finally having one in my hands!!! Your videos have helped me a lot understanding the camera and its functions, thank you so very much!

Did you find it hard to focus shooting wide open?

[@grainificent]

I rarely shoot wide open. I prefer f8-f16 range but on 40mm at 1.4 if the subject is 2m away (~6.5ft) you have a 20cm depth of field (~8in). If you are shooting close up at 1m (3.3ft) that falls to 5cm (~2in) at this point it would be difficult even with a stationary subject.

@ thanks for clarifying!

[@grainificent]

you're welcome! :D
