One of the Coolest Cameras I’ll See at CES

Don't get me wrong, I love digital photography, but very few things make me salivate more than a sweet old Leica. And I'm not the only digicam fan who feels that way. Jim Fisher, Digital Camera Analyst for PC Magazine brought this sweet CL to CES.

The CL is a 70s-era Leica that is still one of the better buys in classic rangefinders. When I complimented on his choice of rig, Jim replied "yeah, well you should see my M3." Yes, Jim, I should. You can bring it by the office any time. High five.
