Years ago, I owned a Leica CL when I was getting into photography. Trying to balance an understanding of both film and digital, I toted this around with my old school Olympus E-510 DSLR. They were perfect together for a college student. But then I needed money, unfortunately I had to sell my Leica. Very recently though, I took the plunge before my 30th birthday and bought myself one. You see, the Leica CL is the same camera as the Minolta CLE and the Leitz Minolta CL.
