A quick gut-check for any listing below — condition and accessories shift the line, so always read the listing. Special edition, special finish, and camera plus lens/accessory bundle pricing is not included in the fair price calculation.

The Leica CL is the compact M-mount rangefinder Leitz introduced in 1973, developed with Minolta and built in Osaka, with around 65,000 made through 1976. It fits a Leica M bayonet, a vertical-running cloth shutter from 1/2 to 1/1000 second, and a through-the-lens CdS meter on a swinging arm into a body far smaller and lighter than any M. It launched with two dedicated lenses, the 40mm f/2 Summicron-C and the 90mm f/4 Elmar-C, and its 0.60x finder carries 40mm, 50mm, and 90mm framelines, with the 40mm frame always shown and the 50mm or 90mm frame switched in by the lens you mount. Today the CL is the most affordable way into a genuine Leitz-designed M-mount rangefinder, though its short rangefinder base and swing-arm meter bring a few lens and battery caveats.
