Leica CL Rangefinder camera

Beautiful Leica CL in very good cosmetic condition, with only light signs of use. The built-in light meter and battery tester do not function. This is something that happens very often with this type of camera. The camera features a fully mechanical shutter and can therefore be used even without a functioning light meter or battery. Exposure can be set manually with the help of an external light meter. The Leica CL is an iconic analog rangefinder camera, introduced in 1973. Designed as a compact and accessible alternative within the prestigious Leica M system. Despite its modest size, the CL offers the characteristic Leica experience: a mechanical shutter, precise rangefinder, and the ability to use high-quality Leica M lenses. Thanks to its elegant, minimalist design and compact construction, the Leica CL is a particularly attractive camera for both collectors and enthusiasts of classic analog photography.
