The For Parts Not Working (As is) Minolta CLE w.28mm and Flash S/N – 1014880 / 1010307. This camera has been dropped. The rangefinder does not work, the lens has some fog, and the flash is inoperative. If someone with the time to fiddle with it can get parts, it may suit them, or it would look good as part of a collector’s cabinet display.
Here is a description of a working model as a guide to what it might have been like if it had been properly maintained.
The Minolta CLE is compatible with the LEICA system but is brilliant in its own right. When released, Minolta promoted it as “the world’s first rangefinder camera with interchangeable lenses and TTL automatic and manual exposure systems.”
The Minolta CLE is a TTL-metering automatic exposure aperture-priority 35mm rangefinder camera using Leica M lenses, introduced by Minolta in 1980. The CLE has an electronic focal plane shutter to 1/1000 seconds, a through-the-lens (TTL) silicon photodiode (SPD) exposure meter with aperture-priority automatic or manual exposure and an automated ambient and flash exposure metering system that continues to work and dynamically adjusts the shutter speed and TTL, off the film (OTF) flash during the exposure itself. The SPD measured ambient light as it was reflected off a pattern on the shutter curtains.
This non-working Minolta M-Rokkor 28mm f/2.8(CLE) is a wide-angle prime lens for 35 mm rangefinder cameras with the bayonet mount Leica M. It does a remarkable job at encompassing wide scenes or for working in cramped, constrained quarters. The lens has an aperture range of f2.8-f22 and a minimum focusing distance of 0.8 meters (31 inches).
