CL Body Only - Black (19301)
Inner box, battery, charger, strap, copied instruction manual, thumbgrip and Protector CL (19525)
The CL was created to capture special moments without interrupting them. It brings to life the perfect balance between compact design, mechanical precision and state-of-the-art technology.
One of the CL's most sought-after features is the interchangeable lens. With seven different lenses currently in production (from super-wide-angle to telephoto), the CL caters to all types of uses.
Additionally, when paired with a specialised adaptor, the CL can mount the whole range of Leica M-System lenses. That makes the camera infinitely customisable and a compact addition for any Leica M owner.
When it comes to handling, the CL is incredibly intuitive and minimal. Two dials on the top of the camera allow the user to adjust the essential settings, and a top-down illuminating display makes it easy to see these settings at a glance. This is particularly convenient when shooting in situations where the bright LCD screen may be disruptive.
A clear, high-res viewfinder with adjustable diopter settings completes the experience and makes composing your images easy, even in extreme light conditions.
The 24-megapixel, APS-C sensor is made to deliver on crisp images and allows for videos in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. Paired with an ultra-fast autofocus, the CL is equally fit for capturing high-energy stunts as it is eternalising bustling family gatherings.
