Season 4 Episode 10 - Leica CL - Is it for you? Did you catch Willem Verbeeck using one recently? Bringing It All Back Home takes a deep dive into whether or not it is worth it to consider the LEICA CL as your first M-mount system. Crowded frame-lines, faulty plastic take-up spools, awkward film loading method - it all gets a serious evaluation. Are you experienced with 40mm? Can you be sold on the Summicron-C 40 cult? How does a $450 DAG CLA make you feel? Tune in and consider the CL options.
