Minolta CLE 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera Body Only / ISSUES READ
Feb 10, 2017
Minolta CLE
I purchased a Minolta CLE brand new in 1981. There were some problems with it initially with rangefinder misalignment. Right at the end of my 2-year warranty, Minolta replaced the camera with another new one in 1983. I have had that camera ever since (34 years now) and I haven't experienced a single mechanical problem. When people think they have a problem, it is usually resolved by an internal cleaning, which requires no spare parts. Some of the parts of the shutter are also common to other Minolta XG cameras, so camera repair people may be able to fix a CLE from those other parts. My own CLE has worked well for 34 years and it is still the most advanced 35 mm film rangefinder camera you can buy, somewhat similar to the Leica M7. The CLE even has some features absent from the Leica such as a self-timer, an electronic cable release about 15 feet long as well as a short one, the ability to change a light reading in the middle of an exposure including a flash exposure, the ability to take a light reading without having to first wind the shutter, and more accurate shutter speeds. The three M-Rokkor lenses are lightweight and very sharp. If you buy a 28 mm lens, make sure it does not have spots on the rear element as some of them had this problem. The camera not only gets TTL flash metering with its own flash, but you also get it with the Minolta 280 PX and 360 PX flash units, so you have the option of a more powerful flash if you need it. In summary, I can recommend the Minolta CLE from my own experience.

Glad to find this Minolta remote cord S for my CLE. I already have the long one, but wanted a short one too. Seller didn't charge for shipping. I just tried it out and it works like new.
Driving Through Futures Past Book

Great book on futuristic concept cars
This nicely illustrated book shows how designers in the past imagined future car designs. Of course, the part I liked best were the designs and drawings by my father.
