I've been shooting with the CL since it came out. After a couple of other-body purchases, I sold my original CL but missed it immediately. After a couple of weeks without the CL, I found and purchased one of the last new kits. It remains among the best cameras - of any type - I've ever owned. It hangs with any Sony I have and even my M11. These are at night on Tokyo streets last week between shoots - handheld, at night, on busy streets.
