The Leica CL is a fantastic little camera which was the product of a short collaboration between Leica and Minolta. Produced in Japan between ‘73 and ‘76, there were 65,000 produced. This little beauty is the 50 Jahre model, which signifies Leica’s 50th anniversary. It’s diminutive size makes it one of the smallest (and most economical) ways to get into Leica’s M-system. This camera sold so well that the bigwigs at Leica felt the need to kill it, fearing that sales would affect the value of their more dear “M” cameras.
