A 35mm rangefinder system created by Minolta (Japan) and consisting of the Minolta CLE, a compact camera resembling the LEICA CL, and three Minolta M-Rokkor lenses: 28mm F/2.8, 40mm F/2 and 90mm F/4. The camera differs from the LEICA CL in that it has an electronically controlled shutter, aperture-priority auto exposure mode, longer rangefinder base, bright-line frames for 28, 40 and 90mm lenses (40, 50 and 90mm with the LEICA CL), and, for the first time in a camera of this type, direct film-plane metering for both auto-exposure and autoflash operation plus LED viewfinder readout.
