Which one??
CL
£1575
That's a bargain........apparently
Can't afford a lens though!!
Why?Fortunately I am quite drunk so I have an excuse
And it was on sale!
Why?
Well just stick the empty bottle where the lens should be, the pictures will turn out grape, it’s a Leica after all!CL

That would be even funnier if it wasn't so true!Meanwhile get acquainted (contains swearing)
The funniest part of the whole thing was "Leica people I know are very normal people"....You'll need to make yourself available for the swearing in ceremony, I'll be back in touch with the date.

If you need to say that and especially very normal part (as supposed to the rest of us who are just normal)....
Verily, you speak the truth .very is very overused
I was saving for the 100-400mm Olympus lens
My GP says I need to drink less but I let that go in one ear and out of the other. My Bank Manager just texted me the same advice, this could be serious
I have 30 days to make my mind up.
Honestly and please don't be offended but I'd send it back.
It's just my VHO and many will doubtless disagree but if I wanted a Leica I'd get a film one, RF, and just one lens, probably a 35mm. I've sort of been down that route with a Bessa R and 35mm f2.5 and it was a lovely thing but I've moved on. In some strange parallel universe where I simply had to have a digital Leica it'd still be a RF with just the one lens but even then I'd suspect I should have bought something else.
Again. Hope there's no offence but I'd send the £1,575 APS-C camera back and not invest in a lens for it.
But, you do as you like and if you do keep it I hope you get a lot of enjoyment out of it and some good pictures too
Alan, I never take offence at your advice. You are totally right of course, if money was not a thing to think about I would have a shelf full of Leica's and Olympus cameras and some 4x5 and who knows what else. I lost sight of my goal to own the 100-400 which I know will give me great pleasure when I get back to watching the motorbike racing live.
I truly would love to have a compact Leica in my arsenal with a nice Summicrom 35mm but now is not the time,
Given the deal I got I may see if I can move it for a profit on ebay for a profit otherwise return it.

The Panasonic 100~400mm is really quite compact in comparison to lenses of the same physical focal length range, designed for formats larger than M43.I have a Panasonic 100-400mm and it does seem to be a nice lens but it's a bit too much of a lump for me to carry about on the sort of aimless walks I take.

I bought it for a couple of specific pictures I'd wanted to take for a long time but whilst walking in the park the other day with my 45-150mm I spotted some dragon flies and 150mm wasn't nearly enough and the pictures needed a crop in the region of 50%.
I don't know what you have in mind for a 100-400mm but I do think it's a lens that can be put to quite a few uses.
Good luck if you do get one.

Good thing I don't get drunk these days.
The CL is an excellent little camera. The lenses are top notch and, with an M adapter, you can put any M lens on there. I downsized to a CL with 18-56 and 55-135 for my landscaping work and am very happy. And I also have a 90mm Leica M lens which gives a 135mm full frame equivalent and is boketastic.
I have to say it is apparent I make good choices when I am drunk. Olympus Pen F; Leica CL; the wife of 21 years

I had a CL +18-55, great combo, only problem for ME....no IS....inside or out
BTW, I have an excellent lightly used half case going spare, should you be interested......

Thanks Dave. I have decided to return it as this is an impulse buy I should not have made. The longer it sits here in the box the more chance I'll cave and keep it. It is gorgeous.
