Minolta CLE
A compact electronic M-mount rangefinder camera featuring TTL metering and aperture-priority exposure.
The Minolta CLE is a compact M-mount rangefinder camera, developed as a successor to the Leica CL. It features a sophisticated electronic focal-plane shutter and an aperture-priority auto-exposure mode with TTL metering. The viewfinder is notably bright, offering framelines for 28mm, 40mm, and 90mm lenses. Its compact dimensions and compatibility with many Leica M-mount lenses make it a popular choice for discreet street photography.
Electronic reliability is the primary concern when buying a used CLE. The shutter circuit and light meter must be tested for consistency, as replacement parts are now scarce. SDS inspects the rangefinder patch for alignment and clarity, and checks the battery contacts for any signs of leakage. We also ensure the LED display within the viewfinder is fully functional and that the shutter speeds remain accurate in both manual and auto modes.
