I seem to remember that versions were marketed by both Leica and Minolta, with slight differences. I have the Leica C Elmar f4 90mm lens, for which I acquired a lens hood, which did not fit as it was a Minolta one! The camera body takes M lenses, with some restrictions as the ttl meter is located in the film path, it jumps out of the way during exposure. I have herd good things about the camera, its solid, small and takes M lenses, and is much cheeper than Leica M bodies. But I have never used or owned one so this is just rumour. Prices seem to be from $500-700 US depending on condition. The lens set, ie lenses made for the CLE, are 40mm and 90mm - would like to try one of these, like the idea of a 40mm lens on 35mm seems like a nice focal length. Maybe I will find a body for a reasonable price some day. brgds Mel >In a recent post, someone mentioned the term "CLE". What is it?
