Description:

The Minolta CLE is a legendary compact 35mm rangefinder camera co-developed with Leica, often considered one of the most advanced M-mount rangefinders outside of Leica's own lineup. Its key strength lies in its aperture-priority automatic exposure, a rare feature among M-mount bodies of the era, combined with TTL metering and excellent build quality.

Paired with the M-Rokkor 28mm f/2.8, this set becomes a lightweight and highly capable street photography combo. The 28mm frame line is clearly displayed in the viewfinder, and the lens itself is sharp, compact, and well-corrected—regarded as one of the finest 28mm lenses for rangefinders, with minimal distortion and good edge-to-edge sharpness.

Together, the CLE and M-Rokkor 28mm f/2.8 form a compact, quiet, and responsive setup that is beloved by film shooters looking for a modern feel in a classic package.
